Continuous Monitoring: Continuously monitor traffic and requests for anomalies,?

leveraging tools like Service Mesh (e.g., Istio) for deep visibility and policy

enforcement.

How it applies to microservices:

• Authentication and authorization are performed on every request, regardless of its

origin.

• mTLS is enforced between microservices to ensure both client and server are

authenticated before communication happens.

• Service Meshes (like Istio) can help implement Zero Trust by automating identity

verification, traffic encryption, and access policies across microservices.
