As a networking and security strategy, zero trust stands in stark contrast to traditional, network-centric, perimeter-based architectures built with firewalls and VPNs, which involve excessive permissions and increase cyber risk. The main point is this: you cannot do zero trust with firewall- and VPN-centric architectures.
