The new White House memo on zero trust is a strong signal
&quot;The foundational tenet of the Zero Trust Model is that no actor, system, network, or service operating outside or within the security perimeter is trusted&quot;<p>It&#x27;s about time. That&#x27;s how airliners are designed. The guiding principle is &quot;no single failure will bring the airplane down.&quot;<p>What it is <i>not</i> is &quot;guarantee critical components will not fail&quot;.<p>The airline design principle is applicable to all kinds of things, like electrical grid design, security design, nuclear plant design, oil drilling platform design, ship design, and on and on. But I see it rarely applied, which is frustrating.
