WHITEPAPER: Authentication Does Not Equal Zero Trust

Security Boulevard

MARCH 30, 2022

Many vendor claims are unclear as to what they’re promising in this space, but they are quite insistent that without Zero Trust network architectures, organizations are at great risk for data breaches and other network sabotage. The post WHITEPAPER: Authentication Does Not Equal Zero Trust appeared first on Security Boulevard.

“ Safety First For Automated Driving ” is a big, over-arching whitepaper from a dozen automotive manufacturers and suppliers. I also like Figure 27 & 28 (shown), showing risks associated with a generic architecture.

Also cited is the directive to follow the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidance when modernizing networks within a zero-trust architecture (see NIST Special Publication 800-207 ). But organizations did not receive the same level of prescriptive guidance across the entirety of the order.

NIST has developed a whitepaper which outlines the steps for migration to post-quantum cryptography. Prepare a quantum-safe architecture now. How will we respond if certain systems have updates while others have not? How can we cancel expired certificates? Crypto-agility. To overcome these challenges, careful planning is required.

Instead, the best of breed functionality was purposefully reconstructed for SSE, using a microservices architecture that can scale elastically, and built on a platform-neutral stack that can run on bare metal and public cloud, equally effectively. From the start, the architecture was designed with zero trust in mind.

To learn more about the synergistic power of symbolic execution and fuzzing, download the “What is Behavior Testing” whitepaper here. We found that the key for effective dynamic testing is to use these two techniques together: use deep reasoning of symbolic execution on some runs, while continuously fuzzing in the background.

Today’s application architectures support fast, continuous innovation. Back end architectures use small, independent code modules called microservices. Clearly today’s application architectures use a lot of components, making them more complex, but the benefits run deep. They were simpler, sure, but so are horse-drawn carriages.

Apparently, an employee at Company X used an LLM to help them finish a whitepaper. We need to remove biases about cybersecurity, particularly the false idea that security architecture, tools and systems we build are effective walls. They did something innocuous at first blush: Ask the AI to write an executive summary and a conclusion.

While NIST has developed a blueprint for Zero Trust - you can read about it in this whitepaper - which can serve as a great start for your journey, organizations need to understand that Zero Trust is above all a mindset. Just like Hercules and the road of Virtue, Zero Trust is a path leading to better security.
