Zero Trust Networks

Perimeter defenses guarding your network aren't as secure as you might  think. Hosts behind the firewall have no defenses of their own, so when a  host in the "trusted" zone is breached, access to your data center is  not far behind. This practical book introduces you to the zero trust  model, a method that treats all hosts as if they're internet-facing, and  considers the entire network to be compromised and hostile.

In  this updated edition, the authors show you how zero trust lets you focus  on building strong authentication, authorization, and encryption  throughout, while providing compartmentalized access and better  operational agility. You'll learn the architecture of a zero trust  network, including how to build one using currently available  technology.
