A field guide to zero trust security

Securing datacenters traditionally involved managing an IP-based perimeter using networks, firewalls, and other physical access restrictions. If your datacenter was your castle, securing it meant building an IP-based moat and using access control lists to manage access. 

However, in today’s multi-cloud era, it’s not so easy. There’s no longer a single perimeter that a moat — or traditional firewalls and security practices — can defend. 

Download this white paper to learn why zero trust security, which bases everything on trusted identities, is a proven framework that allows organizations to maintain secure, dynamic environments at scale. 

This approach trusts nothing on the network by default. Instead, it manages authentication and authorization by relying on policy logic, not physical firewalls or network rules — making it ideal for securing modern cloud environments.

This field guide to zero trust security covers:

• The basics of zero trust security and its four stages of adoption
• How HashiCorp Vault, Consul, and Boundary work together to form a robust enterprise zero trust posture
• Ways you can implement a zero trust approach that improves enterprise security and reduces risk across clouds
