Special report: Zero Trust

Could the internet be safer if we trust no-one?

Trust and identity are bedrocks of security. But the erosion of a clear perimeter threatens conventional ways to secure data, applications and devices.

Zero Trust looks to replace reliance on perimeter defences with a more flexible, less intrusive and more effective form of security.

But how does it work, and does it bring risks as well as benefits? We ask Elliot Rose, of PA Consulting, Ian Pratt, from HP Personal Systems, Iben Rodriguez of Gigaom and Nico Fischbach of Forcepoint for their views.
