Background for this topic.

Zero trust is a security architecture that grants no implicit access based on network location. Each request is evaluated using the user or workload identity, device state, requested resource, and relevant context. Its purpose is to limit the damage from stolen credentials, compromised endpoints, or malicious insiders by enforcing least privilege and restricting lateral movement. Zero trust is a design approach, not a single product or a claim that trust can be eliminated.

Effective controls include phishing-resistant multifactor authentication, strong identity and access lifecycle management, device and workload authorization, application-level segmentation, short-lived credentials, and auditable policy decisions. Policies should limit access to specific resources and actions rather than broad network zones. Poorly maintained identities, service accounts, segmentation rules, or policy exceptions can leave exploitable paths while creating false assurance; the identity and policy infrastructure itself also requires hardening, monitoring, and recovery planning.

Bringing Zero Trust Into the AI Era

University of Texas CISO George Finney on Zero Trust Challenges and His New BookEnterprises need to mature their zero trust models to recognize how trust is inherently built into artificial intelligence and how to proactively identify vulnerabilities. George Finney, CISO at University of Texas Systems, says security teams need to be trained to spot implicit trust across systems.

AI in Zero Trust: Hype, Hope and Hidden Gaps

CISOs Seek Real Value as Vendors Tout the Latest Batch of AI-Driven SolutionsAs the conversation shifts from generative to agentic AI, it's clear that AI holds tremendous potential to ease zero trust fatigue, but only when guided by business context, quality data and human oversight. CISOs see AI as a "basket of opportunities but plenty of "vendor blind spots."

Zero Trust and Automation Crucial for Securing IoT Devices

Device Authority's Antill on Secure-by-Design and Continuous AuthenticationMany IoT devices were never designed with modern authentication - making them easy targets. Even when certificates are used for authentication, Darron Antill, CEO of Device Authority, points out that frequent expiration and limited visibility create operational and security risks over time.
