Zero Trust Security: Identity Over Location Explained #shorts

Zero trust is when your workstations don't trust anybody around them and your accesses to your work resources are based on your identity. Um if you can take a user and hand them a Chromebook and sit them in Bonhoeffer Spital on Wi-Fi and they have the same level of protections as they do in the headquarters office, then you might be zero trust. They uh the idea that somebody breaks through your firewall and they get inside the LAN and they run net view and they pivot pivot pivot and now they're on the server, they've got your goods and they deploy ransomware and they break your whole network down because everybody on the inside trusts everybody around them

based on location instead of based on identity. Uh with zero trust, there is kind of no LAN. There's no real local area network. So at our offices, if you go to an elastic office, the it's the exact same access as you get at a Starbucks as far as corporate networks go um except maybe a printer or two. That's about it.
