Episode notes
Zero Trust Replaces Network Perimeter
- Zero Trust rejects trusting users based on location or network alone and emphasizes strong identity and crypto.
- This shifts access decisions from network perimeter to identity and policy enforcement everywhere.
From DoD Roots To A Programmable Mesh
- OpenZiti started from a proprietary DoD-inspired product then evolved into a user-space overlay mesh with strong identity.
- Michael built a programmable, application-embedded network rather than a traditional VPN or proxy.
Embed Zero Trust In Your App
- Embed zero trust directly into applications by using SDKs instead of bolting it on via gateways.
- Use application-level identity and networking primitives for cleaner, more maintainable security.
