Loading...Introduction to Zero Trust Architecture
Last quarter, our team discovered that traditional security measures were no longer sufficient for our cloud-native applications. We needed a more robust and flexible security framework to protect our services. This is when we delved into Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) and its implementation using OpenID Connect 1.0 and Istio 1.17.
What is Zero Trust Architecture?
Zero Trust Architecture is a security paradigm that assumes that all users and devices, whether inside or outside an organization's network, are potential threats. It verifies the identity and permissions of each user and device before granting access to resources. This approach significantly reduces the risk of lateral movement in case of a breach.
OpenID Connect 1.0 for Authentication
OpenID Connect (OIDC) is an authorization framework built on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol. It provides an identity layer, allowing clients to verify the identity of users based on the authentication performed by an authorization server. We chose OpenID Connect 1.0 for its simplicity, flexibility, and widespread adoption.
