From Zero to One Hundred - Demystifying zero trust and its implications on enterprise people, process, and technology
Figure: A Basic Zero Trust Architecture
Summary
Changing network landscapes and rising security threats have imparted a sense of urgency for new approaches to security. Zero trust has been proposed as a solution to these problems, but some regard it as a marketing tool to sell existing best practice while others praise it as a new cybersecurity standard. This article discusses the history and development of zero trust and why the changing threat landscape has led to a new discourse in cybersecurity. Drivers, barriers, and business implications of zero trust provide a backdrop for a brief overview of key logical components of a zero trust architecture and implementation challenges.
