Looking beyond the engineering, the real business upside becomes clear:

• Zero Trust enforcement delivered from the cloud no longer constrained by on-prem perimeter
• Trust shifted from network location/subnet to identity and device posture
• Per-application access rather than exposing the full corporate network

This isn’t just an upgrade of the traditional VPN . It’s a reduction in implicit trust. It reduces lateral movement risk, limits blast radius, and aligns security controls to a hybrid workforce model. Secure access done properly is not about connectivity it’s about changing the organisation’s risk posture.

Future enhancements: Conditional access continues this evolution. Access decisions can adapt dynamically based on user identity, device posture, location, and application sensitivity enforcing Zero Trust in real time. This strengthens security while improving user experience, only stepping in when risk warrants it.

I’d be interested to hear how others are approaching Zero Trust adoption. Are you prioritising identity-first access, or still relying on traditional network perimeters?
