Abstract: Systems and methods control access to resources in a zero-trust computing environment. Requests for access to resources are tracked, including tracking determinations to grant or deny requested access. Based on the tracked requests, an identity tenant trust score is calculated based on users that request access to a resource and based on a number of such requests that are granted and denied. A hardware tenant trust score is calculated based on hardware that requests access to the resource and based on a number of such requests that are granted and denied. A software tenant trust score is calculated based on software applications that request access to the first resource and further and based on a number of such requests that are granted and denied. The identity tenant trust score, hardware tenant trust score and software tenant trust score are aggregated to generate a trust score for the resource.
