Zero trust in practice
On This Lesson 4 topics
This lesson is planned. The outline below lists the topics it will cover. The full lesson has not been published yet.
In this lesson
apply zero-trust principles to a real system.
Planned topics
- Do not trust network location; authenticate and authorize every request, including internal ones.
- Assume breach: limit what a compromised service can reach, and make activity visible.
- Use least privilege, short-lived credentials, and segmentation.
- Zero trust is a direction applied in steps, not a product to buy; start with the highest-value paths.
Draft outline details
Demonstration
Before and after table: internal call with no authentication, trusted by subnet versus call with workload identity, scoped token, audit log. Prioritize paths by data sensitivity.
