People think that Zero Trust Before discussing Zero Trust , we need to understand is a single product or piece of technology but that is how traditional IT security paradigms operate or have operated . With the right traditional IP security models several different security principles and technologies applied , what we recognise as the castle and moat with a Zero Trust network access , or zip DNA as it is concept , means the network perimeter is considered a relatively safe zone or the ‘ castle ’. Security controls were mainly applied to actors trying to gain access to resources and applications that resided within that network perimeter from the outside . In this case , those who were a part of the organisation within that network perimeter were trusted implicitly and given free rein along with access to almost everything .

commonly referred to , being the driving principle . The market invariably uses these two interchangeably .
How does Cloudflare ’ s approach to providing ZT security differ from other vendors in this space ?
Firstly , a vendor landscape is typically two buckets – either vendors such as hardware appliance-based vendors , right point solution vendors , such as makers
