Zero Trust & API Security: Robust Authentication with Edge Stack

Zero Trust generated huge momentum in 2023. Okta’s The State of Zero Trust Security 2023 states that 61% of organizations are already implementing Zero Trust, with another 35% planning to soon. 2023, Gartner’s Strategic Roadmap for Zero Trust Security Program Implementation report was published, detailing how to define your roadmap to Zero Trust.It might come as a surprise to learn that Zero Trust was first described 30 years ago this April in 1994. Why has it taken so long to gain traction? It comes down to the technology not being in place. But in 2024, with Kubernetes and solutions such as Edge Stack API Gateway, service meshes, mTLS, and other advanced security technologies, organizations now have the tools they need to effectively implement Zero Trust architectures and secure their APIs dynamically and scalable.A vital component of that is robust authentication. If you can’t determine who your users are, you can’t then use that information throughout your infrastructure to control access. Let’s see how you can implement authentication with Edge Stack PI Gateway as the start of a Zero Trust framework.
