Everyone agrees zero trust is good but no one correctly implements it

Zero trust is a security framework that eliminates implicit trust and considers it a vulnerability. It was first proposed in 1994 by Stephen Marsh but gained popularity in the 2010s. Despite its advantages, zero trust didn't take off due to practical realities and vendors' inability to clarify things. The term became a buzzword, and many vendors pushed partial solutions. However, with advancements like Wireguard, a simple and fast VPN that uses cutting-edge cryptography, zero trust is finally becoming achievable. NIST's guidance on zero trust architecture, big institutions pushing for it, and vendors catching up are also contributing to its practical implementation. Zero trust is returning to its roots as an architecture rather than a single purchase, and incident by incident, it will become inevitable as more organizations adopt it to prevent breaches and improve security.
