## AI overview

This article explains how to apply Zero Trust principles to SSH by replacing location- and perimeter-based trust with identity-based authentication. It discusses treating users and software consistently, avoiding static credentials, and auditing resource access across cloud-native, hybrid cloud, and legacy environments.

## Source excerpt
