HashiConf Europe 2021 showcased several companies, including Roblox and Starbucks, that have embraced a new paradigm to meet the security challenges of dynamic infrastructure: Zero trust security. The message from HashiConf was clear: Trust nothing. Authenticate and authorize everything. Companies are avoiding the risk of breach as they scale operations and push digital transformations by leveraging HashiCorp Vault, Consul, and Boundary to create a zero-trust security model. Centralizing secrets management is critical in dynamic environments, and companies can achieve this with identity-based security approaches. Zero trust security also requires scaling security solutions to meet the demands of cloud infrastructures, which can be achieved through centralized secrets management. Additionally, companies like Starbucks and Roblox are using HashiCorp tools to implement zero-trust security models that improve scalability and automate access controls, reducing the risk of breach. Furthermore, implementing zero-trust security does not necessarily increase development friction, as service mesh, identity-based access management, and secrets management can be used to put zero trust into action without negatively impacting developer productivity or satisfaction.
