Tailscale SSH, which simplifies authentication and authorization by replacing SSH keys with the Tailscale identity of any machine.
A Secure Shell or SSH key is an access credential in the SSH.COM.
Tailscale gives each server and user device its own identity and node key for authenticating and encrypting the Tailscale network connection and uses access control lists defined in code for authorizing connections, making it a natural extension for Tailscale to now manage access for SSH connections in your network.
Removes the Pain
“SSH is an everyday tool for developers, but managing SSH keys for a server isn’t so simple or secure,” said Tailscale Product Manager
According to the Fortinet vArmour senior vice president. “This enables organizations to not have to in essence boil the ocean and try and adopt unilateral controls too quickly, but instead lock down their crown jewels and understand the relationships those assets have to address resilience planning in a phased approach.”
One of the biggest mistakes we see when implementing zero trust is insufficient investing in visibility, observability, and analytics across the organization, Kuehn added. “Without visibility, companies are limited Continue reading
Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) builds on the foundational principles of zero trust security as defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in publication Ansible, Puppet, and Crowdstrike offer products that cover the entire spectrum of detecting and protecting endpoints within a corporate network. This would include everything from antivirus and antimalware to abnormal network activity monitoring. Microsoft, Trend Micro, and SentinelOne offer similar capabilities and made Gartner’s upper quadrant in their 2021 Endpoint Protection report.
Wrap up Zero Trust Architecture
The real answer to the question of what is zero trust architecture depends on your most important corporate assets. Any network design should also include consideration of the humans with access to those critical assets. Trust but verify applies to corporate employees as well as geopolitical relationships.
Choosing the right vendors and partners to meet your specific objectives will help you implement a solid Zero Trust Architecture. Once implemented it comes down to diligence and persistence. New threats pop up regularly and must be met with an adaptive security posture. Those who don’t adapt and change will be doomed to failure.

Tackling the challenge of providing fast, smooth, jitter-free gameplay with super low end-to-end latency, social media giant in a blog post Thursday.
This low-latency gaming platform could also serve as the base Meta’s pending Metaverse, they asserted.
Facebook launched its cloud gaming platform in 2020, providing users quick access to native Android and Windows mobile games across all the browsers. Along with high a volume of consumer access came a high volume of developer and engineering challenges.
Network, Hosting, and Cluster Management
The first step Meta took in providing low end-to-end latency was a physical one — to reduce the distance between the cloud gaming infrastructure and the players themselves. For this Meta used edge computing and deployed in edges that were close to large populations of players. The goal of edge computing is to “have a unified hosting environment to make sure we can run as many games as possible as smoothly as possible,” Meta engineers Xiaoxing Zhu wrote.
The more edge computing sites, the lower the user latency.

As cyberattacks continue to escalate; companies grow their use of tech services outside of their network perimeters and the government and other organizations work with ever more sensitive personal, corporate, and government data, there is increasing adoption of zero trust data protection.
So, What Is Zero Trust Data Protection?
Zero trust data protection is a security methodology that includes a framework of technologies and best practices that an organization needs to define and adopt across their IT environments over time, explained Steve Malone, Sumo Logic director of security product. “It’s the culmination of something that’s been happening in security over the last 20 years, which is the perimeter is not the point of enforcement anymore because of the way that technology works today.”
Interest in operating in a zero trust data protection environment has gained plenty of interest in the last few years, according to Michael Gorelik,

In this third article installment, we will dive into using zero trust models within container security. In this fourth article, we will discuss the future of zero trust in a world that is increasingly remote.
While remote work originally appeared en masse as a Band-Aid fix for organizations to keep working during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is now decidedly here to stay.
According to research from McKinsey shows that most executives no longer plan to have non-essential staff working on-site five days a week.

Modern, cloud-based, distributed networks may lack a defined perimeter to protect, but they still need network security. And nearly all organizations know that:
In the first article in this series, we discussed what zero trust security is and why it matters. In this article, we will take a deep dive into zero trust network access, how it works, and its benefits to the modern organization.
What Is Zero Trust Network Access?
Zero Trust Network Access, or ZTNA, is a security solution that many IT departments and IT organizations use to ensure secure remote access to a range of data, applications, networks, and services within an organization. ZTNA is based on defined access control policies that clearly communicate who has access to what and for how long that access is granted.
ZTNA is a gap-filler when it comes to secure remote access tools, methods, and technologies. VPNs or virtual private networks are different from zero trust network access because VPNs give access to an entire network rather than specific applications or data. As the remote workforce continues to take shape and many companies lean on it as a source of employee satisfaction and employer productivity. Zero trust network access is pertinent to keeping the right people in and the wrong people out of your organization’s systems.

The web development platform Matt Biilmann. In an interview with The New Stack, he described how looking to the future inspired the vision for the company’s latest product.
“As we’re building out our edge network and as we start seeing this category mature, with people building more complex projects in a variety of industries, I believed we’d see a new layer emerge where developers could easily write code that would run on the edge. In the beginning, we weren’t sure what that layer would look like or what it would do. We spent a lot of time investigating WebAssembly as the runtime mechanism but ultimately decided against it. In 2020, we moved our efforts from WASM to our own JavaScript-based edge runtime.”
“The standard JS runtimes like Node.js aren’t really built to be run in a totally multitenant environment or unique process isolation, so we had to start building our own.”

At first glance, it seems clear that the cloud era has fundamentally changed the way we think about networking. We’re now operating outside defined perimeters, and networks can span multiple data centers or clouds. But has networking really changed all that much from the days when everything lived in on-premises data centers?

Peter is a senior product marketing manager for Consul at HashiCorp and based in San Francisco. If he's not studying the best way to discover and manage microservices or talking about cloud-based networking, you'll likely find him discovering real clouds in the great outdoors.
After all, it’s still all about establishing consistent connectivity and enforcing security policies. So why does everything seem so different and complicated when it comes to the cloud?
To better understand the evolution to modern networking, it’s important to step back and identify the core workflows that have defined those changes, including:
Discovering services
Securing networks
Automating networking tasks
Controlling access
In this article, we will walk through each of these workflows and talk about how they are combined to achieve a modern service-based networking solution. Since I work at HashiCorp, I’m going to use
