Zero Trust Revolution: Why VPNs Are Yesterday’s News and How to Make Attackers Vanish
Zero Trust isn’t a feature—it’s a stand-up routine for your network. Deepen Desai from Zscaler says if your users connect and get placed on the network, you’ve just given your VPN a new address. Zero Trust means attack surface reduction and making applications invisible, so attackers can’t hit what they can’t see.
Hot Take:
Zero Trust is like the cool kid at the cybersecurity party, making VPNs look like your mom’s outdated bell-bottom jeans. Deepen Desai from Zscaler is here to tell us that if your network is still playing hide-and-seek with attackers, you’re doing it wrong. Zero Trust is less about playing defense and more about making sure the bad guys have nothing to aim at!
Key Points:
- Zero Trust is an architectural overhaul, not just rebranding your old VPN.
- Zscaler’s Zero Trust architecture reduces attack surfaces by making applications invisible.
- The philosophy hinges on three principles: never trust, enforce least privilege, and assume breach.
- The transition to Zero Trust involves four stages, starting with securing internet egress.
- Zero Trust goes beyond prevention, incorporating containment and isolation of attackers.
