Introduction to Zero Trust Infrastructure with Hashicorp’s Rosemary Wang
• 45 minZero trust infrastructure is an approach to security that requires all users, devices, and services to be authenticated and authorized before being granted access to resources. Unlike traditional security models that assume everything inside the network is trusted, zero trust assumes that all traffic is untrusted.In today's world, where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, Zero trust infrastructure is crucial for protecting sensitive data and preventing unauthorized access. Hashicorp is a company that provides a suite of tools for building and managing secure systems. Their products, such as Vault, Consul, and Boundary, can help organizations implement a zero trust approach to security.Vault is a tool for securely storing and managing secrets such as passwords, API keys, and certificates. It provides a centralized place to manage access to secrets and has several features to ensure the security of these secrets, such as encryption, access control, and auditing. Consul is a service discovery and configuration tool that provides a secure way to connect and manage services across different networks. It provides features such as service discovery, health checking, and load balancing, and can be integrated with Vault for secure authentication and authorization. Boundary is a tool for securing access to infrastructure and applications. It provides a secure way to access resources across different networks and can be integrated with Vault and Consul for secure authentication and authorization.
