Open Source Summit + ELC North America 2020

In this session we’ll learn how to embed zero trust network connectivity into mobile, cloud or IoT edge applications with end to end encryption, leverage HW root of trust, integrate with leading identity, authentication and authorization services, providing compartmentalized micro-segmented access without any additional overhead or management of infrastructure..

Networking in the Internet of Things (IoT) world has proven to be difficult. It is slow and expensive to work with telecom carriers to deploy custom hardware, circuits, and VPNs. Not to mention SD-WAN and VPN architectures weren't designed for the IoT application topology. Project Ziti now available on GitHub is an open source platform enabling modern, programmable zero trust, network overlay and associated edge componentry for application-embedded networking. Zero trust refers to an evolving set of network security paradigms that narrows defenses from wide network perimeters to individual resources, supporting remote endpoints and cloud-based assets not located within an enterprise-owned network boundary (as defined by NIST 800-207 and the related Cloud Security Alliance SDPv2).
