Zero Trust Architecture: A Practical Starting Point

Sample post — stop trusting the network and start verifying every request.

What Zero Trust actually means

Zero Trust replaces "trust the internal network" with "verify every request, every time". No implicit trust is granted based on network location.

A pragmatic first milestone

  1. Inventory your identities and critical assets.
  2. Enforce strong authentication (MFA) everywhere.
  3. Segment access by least privilege, not by subnet.
  4. Log and monitor every access decision.

You do not need to replace your whole stack on day one. Pick one high-value application, put an identity-aware proxy in front of it, and measure the result.
