Zero Trust Networks: Building Secure Systems in Untrusted Networks

This practical book provides a detailed explanation of the zero trust security model. Zero trust is a security paradigm shift that eliminates the concept of traditional perimeter-based security and requires you to 'always assume breach' and 'never trust but always verify.' The updated edition offers more scenarios, real-world examples, and in-depth explanations of key concepts to help you fully comprehend the zero trust security architecture. Examine fundamental concepts of zero trust security model, including trust engine, policy engine, and context aware agents Understand how this model embeds security within the system's operation, with guided scenarios at the end of each chapter Migrate from a perimeter-based network to a zero trust network in production Explore case studies that provide insights into organizations' zero trust journeys Learn about the various zero trust architectures, standards, and frameworks developed by NIST, CISA, DoD, and others
