A BRIEF(ER) HISTORY OF ZERO TRUST: MAJOR MILESTONES IN RETHINKING ENTERPRISE
SECURITY




WHY TELL THE STORY OF ZERO TRUST?

Many in IT security believe zero trust is a game-changer, a fundamental rethink
about enterprise security and protection of the networks and resources that
house our best ideas, connect our brightest talent, and grant access to
transformative productivity tools. 

But to understand how truly revolutionary the zero trust model is in
cybersecurity, it’s necessary to understand how the idea of zero trust
architecture evolved into one that fundamentally overhauls decades-old
thinking. 

What follows is a brief history of some of the key moments in the making of the
zero trust movement.

Key moments in the history of zero trust

1987 – Engineers from the Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) publish the first
paper on firewall technology, ushering in decades of "castle-and-moat" network
security thinking

2001 – IEEE Standards Association publishes the 802.1X protocol for network
access control (NAC

2004 – The Jericho forum is chartered, introducing the principle
of de-perimeterization

2007 - The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) publishes its "black core"
model for a software-defined perimeter, which struggled to gain traction. 

2009 – Google's BeyondCorp is founded to reimagine security architecture in the
wake of Operation Aurora

2010 – Analyst John Kindervag coins the term "zero trust" in a paper for the
Forrester Research Group

2013 - The Cloud Security Alliance's software-defined perimeter, dependent on
SPA, flounders due to tech limitations; The Jericho Forum declares
de-perimeterization a “fact” and disbands

2017 – Continuous Adaptive Risk and Trust Assessment (CARTA) is designed as a
risk management framework by Gartner

2019 – Gartner introduces the concept of the secure access service edge (SASE)

2020 – NIST publishes SP 800-207 as a unified framework for establishing zero
trust architecture (ZTA)

2021 – Gartner specifies the security components of SASE are a new market
category, known as the secure service edge (SSE)

2022 – The U.S. Government's Office of Management and Budget mandates the
adoption of zero trust principles for all agencies by 2024


 


802.1X AND NETWORK ACCESS CONTROL

The 802.1X protocol was released in 2001 as a standard regulating network access
control (NAC) for wireless devices. The increasing adoption of these wireless
devices was complicating notions of a strictly defined corporate perimeter, and
organizations were feeling a need to address their growing use.

The 802.1X supplicant, or client, was meant to allow networks to authenticate an
endpoint before allowing a connection. Unfortunately, not all devices were
802.1X-capable. Printers, IoT systems, and other connected devices prevented
this method from serving as a universal solution to the problem of unauthorized
network access. 

 


THE JERICHO FORUM IMAGINES A BOLD WAY FORWARD

In 2003, a group of European technology leaders recognized the problems inherent
to castle-and-moat network architecture and began discussing ways to bring down
the network walls.  

They convened a working group in 2004 known as The Jericho Forum, which
introduced the idea of “de-perimeterization” and gave the world a set of
"commandments" that laid the groundwork for best practices for governing
perimeter-less networks.

 


MORE THAN A BUZZWORD: ENTER “ZERO TRUST”

In 2010, Forrester analyst John Kindervag published a paper titled “No More
Chewy Centers: Introducing The Zero Trust Model Of Information Security." More
than a buzzword, it gave the IT security industry something to latch onto when
architecting a new model for connectivity.

The premise was that presence on a network was not a sufficient basis for
granting trust. Identity – and the ability to verify it – replaced the perimeter
as the core criterion for access. Alas, up to this point, nothing fundamental
had shifted in the enterprise environment itself. Networks were still an
all-or-nothing, inside-or-out construct.

 


BEYOND (THE PERIMETER) CORP

As is so often the case in cybersecurity, threat actors drove the next evolution
in network security. China’s People’s Liberation Army conducted a major
operation against U.S. tech companies including Akamai, Adobe, and Juniper
Networks – and Google responded with  BeyondCorp. 

The intent, according to Google, was “shifting access controls from the network
perimeter to individual users…[enabling] secure work from virtually any location
without the need for a traditional VPN.” Zero trust, in its purest sense of
disregard for the on/off-network distinction, had arrived. 

But Google was seeking to address a difficult problem, and despite trying to
“pave the path for other organizations to realize their own implementation of a
zero trust network,” it was still a strategy beyond the capabilities of most
enterprises in 2010.

 


“THE MAN” WEIGHS IN ON ZERO TRUST

In 2020, the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) reframed the
conversation with its NIST 800-207 standard for zero trust architecture. 

This new cybersecurity paradigm was focused on resource protection and the
premise that trust should never be granted implicitly, but must continuously be
evaluated. The shackles of the perimeter and the notion of the virtual private
network were discarded. 

Its essentials are key to understanding how zero trust operates, and why it’s a
departure from the approaches that came before it. The 800-207 standard
stipulates key tenets and assumptions for zero trust. Three of the most critical
points (from a much longer list) are:

 1. No resource is inherently trusted.
 2. All communication is secured regardless of network location.
 3. All resource authentication and authorization are dynamic and strictly
    enforced before access is allowed.

If this was a paradigm shift in terms of thinking about zero trust, the
revolution in terms of advancement came with the U.S. Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) M-22-09 directive, issued in 2022. Suddenly, zero trust became the
law of the land, at least where U.S. federal agencies were concerned. 

But the implications were broader. With executive endorsement – almost certainly
bearing in mind a high-profile 2021 supply chain attack that compromised federal
agencies including State, Treasury, Homeland Security, Commerce, and Energy –
the zero trust methodology had the weight of the American government behind it.

 


FURTHER REFINING ZERO TRUST

The U.S. government’s endorsement of zero trust principles didn’t mark the end
of advancement for this model. Zscaler's approach to zero trust architecture
aligns closely with NIST's ZTA framework and Gartner's definition for SSE. And
it goes beyond these standards, with three fundamental advancements in zero
trust thinking:

 1. All traffic is zero trust traffic
 2. Identity and context always come before connectivity
 3. Applications - and even app environments - should remain invisible to
    unauthorized users

To learn more about this modern approach to zero trust, including how Zscaler is
driving the next milestones in rethinking enterprise security, read the full
