Security Architecture

Zero Trust Security Model

Naas implements a comprehensive zero trust security architecture that assumes no implicit trust and continuously validates every transaction.

Core Principles:

Never Trust, Always Verify: Every request is authenticated and authorized
Least Privilege Access: Minimal access rights for users and systems
Assume Breach: Design for containment and rapid response
Continuous Monitoring: Real-time security monitoring and analysis

Implementation Framework:

Authentication & Authorization

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):

TOTP Support: Time-based one-time passwords (Google Authenticator, Authy)
Hardware Tokens: FIDO2/WebAuthn, YubiKey, RSA SecurID
Biometric Authentication: Fingerprint, facial recognition (where supported)
Smart Cards: CAC/PIV card support for government deployments

Enterprise Identity Integration:
