Identity Over Network: Why 2026 Zero Trust Is About Who/What, Not Where
Most zero trust initiatives stall because they still protect the network, not the workload. Firewalls and VPNs continue to make trust decisions based on network location, while secrets vaults rely on possession of long-lived credentials. These controls help, but they all stop short of verifying what a workload truly is.
