Everyone is Good. Everyone is Bad.
Zero Trust, it's an interesting term that's actually been around for some time, but has been recently hijacked by the identity community to point to a new paradigm of identity-based security based upon the Google BeyondCorp whitepaper.
When the Internet was created, the assumption was, 'everyone is good, the network is trusted.' Today, we're safer to assume 'the network cannot be trusted, everyone is bad.'
Making the pathways of the physical internet conform to the logical roadways of who can access what is an impossible task, which is why it's inevitable that we're going to layer identity over the top to connect everything to everything. The network cannot be trusted and in the future, the notion of trusted/inside vs untrusted/outside gives way to trusted/authenticated and the untrusted/unauthenticated.

5 年The network is as good as it can be. I reckon 'ZERO Trust' is dogma from an old era. When my friends loose a day of pay because they couldn't authenticate properly into the 10+ apps used to hussle job? That's an economic issue, not a trust issue. Let's change the FUD messaging to inspire intelligent, thoughtful products that actually solve complex problems around collaboration and transacting business Too many systems prohibit work getting done because of ZERO TRUST password management mentality. #uncle
