# Zero Trust Architecture

## Indicio enhances Zero Trust architecture by providing a more robust identity layer

By using verifiable credentials, Indicio is able to issue secure decentralized digital identities to your users that allow them to cryptographically prove their identity for fast, trusted access to systems and applications they need inside your Zero Trust environment.

## Organization benefits

* Increase security with phishing-proof verifiable credentials: unlike passwords or physical keys, these credentials cannot be lost, stolen, or copied. 
* Fight fraud and reduce data breaches by removing the reliance on centralized databases for sensitive identity information.
* Easily manage access and assign roles across your organization.
* Provide a better experience for your users with fast and secure access to the information they need.
* Protect your systems and staff from deepfakes and fraud with mutual authentication, establishing a two-way online verification process before sharing sensitive information.

## User benefits

* Access the applications you need with less time spent on identity and document verification.
* Reduce identity theft and impersonation attempts with secure digital identification that cannot be copied by bad actors.
* Eliminate time-consuming multi-factor authentication.
* Fast, simple, and easy to use, these credentials can contain all the information needed to prove identification across your organization and partner organizations.
