For network administrators it is no longer only about protecting laptops and PCs, but rather about managing a network comprised of a colorful palette of connected hardware including mobile and low-cost IoT devices.

How can you possibly keep your network secure when every device plays by its own rules? The answer is simple: TRUST NO ONE!

This is where the concept of a "Zero trust architecture" comes in, which is a security concept based on not trusting a device by default simply because it is part of your network.

Even when you don't trust the devices, there is something that you need to trust.

An attacker should never be able to read, alter or copy this private key, as that compromises the security of the entire network that the device is connected to.

The network needs to trust the device to be able to do so.
