Day Two Cloud 142: OpenZiti Serves Up Zero Trust For Applications (Sponsored)
Today’s Day Two Cloud episode jumps into the deep end of the networking pool to talk about OpenZiti, an open-source project that brings zero trust principles to networks and applications. OpenZiti builds an overlay or mesh network to enforce zero trust.
It has several moving parts including edge routers to enforce zero trust policies when you enter the network, a controller, SDKs to integrate OpenZiti with your applications, and tunnelers and proxies that work with your existing applications.
Our guest is Clint Dovholuk, an OpenZiti developer and zero trust advocate. The term “zero trust” is currently being abused by vendor marketing departments, so Clint makes a case for why OpenZiti delivers zero trust. He also gets into technical detail about how Ziti works.
The OpenZiti project was created by NetFoundry, a for-profit company that sells a commercial SaaS offering based on OpenZiti. NetFoundry is the sponsor of today’s episode.
We discuss:
* What zero trust means in OpenZiti
* How to bootstrap trust
* Dealing with identity in a zero trust environment
* OpenZiti components
* OpenZiti SDKs
* More
