Zero Trust
Morey J. Haber · Apress eBooks · 2020
By definition, a zero trust security model advocates the creation of zones and segmentation to control sensitive IT resources. This also entails the deployment of technology to monitor and manage data between zones and, more importantly, authentication within a zone(s), whether by users, applications, or other resources. In addition, the model redefines the architecture of a trusted network inside a defined perimeter. This can be on-premise or in the cloud. This is relevant today since technologies and processes like the cloud, DevOps, edge computing, and IoT have either blurred, or dissolved altogether, the idea of a traditional perimeter. Therefore, the concept of a trust zone is important to manage any resources operating and communicating together.
