The dashboard won’t save you: Why visibility doesn’t improve security
The way I'd describe the original logic of network security is a crunchy outside and a soft middle.
The perimeter was the defense. Everything inside it was trusted by default – not because anyone made that decision explicitly, but because the model didn't require them to. As long as the outside stayed hard, the inside could stay soft.
That logic held, until it didn't.
Cloud environments, remote access, partner integrations, and the sheer sprawl of modern IT infrastructure dissolved the perimeter as a meaningful boundary. Zero Trust was the response, instigating a need to always verify, to define access by identity and context rather than by where something sits on the network.
The principle is sound. The problem is that principle and implementation are not the same thing. Most Zero Trustdeployments work exactly as intended in a controlled environment. In production, in the real world, they encounter something the...
