implementing-zero-trust-in-cloud

separate

Guides zero trust implementation across AWS, Azure, and GCP per NIST SP 800-207 and BeyondCorp principles, covering identity-centric access, micro-segmentation, continuous verification, device trust assessment, and Identity-Aware Proxy deployment. Use when migrating from perimeter security to identity-centric access, removing VPN dependency, or designing micro-segmentation for multi-cloud workloads.

When to use

• When migrating from traditional perimeter-based security to identity-centric access controls
• When eliminating VPN dependencies for remote workforce access to cloud applications
• When implementing continuous verification for every access request regardless of network location
• When designing micro-segmentation strategies for multi-cloud workloads
• When regulatory requirements mandate zero trust architecture adoption (federal mandates, NIST guidelines)

When not to use

• simple VPN replacement without broader architectural changes
• network firewall rule management alone
• identity provider initial setup
