ANSSI views on the Zero Trust model

Présentation

However, as of today, the use of these solutions is challenging due to a lack of maturity: deployment can lead to installation or configuration errors, increase the vulnerability of information systems, and give companies a false sense of security.

If the Zero Trust model aligns with the “defense in depth” logic historically promoted by ANSSI, it constitutes a modification of the strict perimeter logic that has long prevailed. Therefore, if implementation of the model is considered, it can only be gradual: it requires the use of new security solutions that must integrate into an overall defense system without replacing it. Implementing such solutions is challenging: deployment can lead to installation or configuration errors, increase the vulnerability of information systems, and give companies a false sense of security.
