“Zero-trust” is a security model that requires strict access controls, not trusting anything by default for any person, application, or service—even if it resides inside a network perimeter.
Zero-trust has always been a good idea, and in the decade since Forrester coined the term, numerous cybersecurity vendors have jumped on the zero-trust bandwagon, slapping the term on their marketing.
But there are two problems with this overuse of terminology: Zero-trust vendors don’t all agree on what it means, and even worse, the entire concept is now out of date, given the complexities of cloud-native computing and hybrid IT that weren’t even on the horizon back in 2009.
How the industry should update zero-trust in today’s cloud-native computing world is the question I hoped to answer at this year’s Black Hat USA conference in Las Vegas. To this end, I whittled the list of vendor PR pitches down to four from companies that were breaking the zero-trust mold.
These four vendors exemplify what it means to offer zero-trust security in a cloud-native context. Here are the emerging best practices.
