A method for determining a trusted terminal and a related apparatus, which are applied to a zero trust network security architecture, improves security of the zero trust architecture. The method includes: a terminal sends an access request when the terminal accesses an application server. A policy control apparatus sends an HTTPS connection request to the terminal based on the access request from the terminal. The terminal sends verification information to the policy control apparatus based on the HTTPS connection request. The policy control apparatus performs verification on the verification information. After the verification on the verification information succeeds, the terminal successfully establishes an HTTPS connection to the policy control apparatus. The HTTPS connection indicates that the terminal is a trusted terminal.
