Understanding Zero Trust Origins
The concept of Zero Trust originated from the belief that all interfaces should have the same level of trust, ideally zero. This idea arose in response to traditional firewall models that classified networks as trusted or untrusted without sufficient justification. The speaker outlines how this approach to security prompted critical thinking about implicit trust within network boundaries. John Kindervak shares his experience in the cybersecurity field, explaining that the broken trust model has led to many security breaches over the years.
