Zero Trust: the first 30 days
Teams stall on Zero Trust by trying to do everything at once. The first month needs only three things.
Days 1–10: inventory
List every path into your systems: VPN, direct SSH, vendor tunnels, forgotten admin panels. You cannot secure what you have not listed.
Days 11–30: two high-value apps
Pick two internal apps and put identity-aware access in front of them. Prove the pattern works, learn the friction, then scale. Production experience beats architecture diagrams.
Frequently asked questions
What about the VPN?
It stays for now. Shrinking it app by app is safer — and more honest — than a deadline-driven cutover.
