Identity-first access control Network proximity is now an inferior trust signal. Only federated, cryptographically verifiable identity tokens issued by centralized enterprise IdPs using OIDC or SAML are permitted as gates to corporate resources. This transition, well-documented by FIDO Alliance and Microsoft research, transfers the very concept of “inside” the organization from the network to…

15 years in, zero trust remains elusive, with AI rising to complicate the challenge
Legacy systems that weren’t designed for zero trust principles,Fragmented identity and access tools that make unified enforcement difficult, andCultural and organizational resistance to changing long-standing trust models.Kyle Wickert, field CTO at AlgoSec, says zero trust remains one of the most misunderstood transformations in cybersecurity.”Many organizations still hesitate to pursue it because they associate zero trust…

Security’s Next Control Plane: The Rise of Pipeline-First Architecture
For years, security operations have relied on monolithic architectures built around centralized collectors, rigid forwarding chains, and a single “system of record” where all data must land before action can be taken. On paper, that design promised simplicity and control. In practice, it delivered brittle systems, runaway ingest costs, and teams stuck maintaining plumbing instead..…
