The Evolution of Zero-Trust Techniques with Workload-Level Identity

Recorded January 24, 2024

View a Complimentary Live Webinar Sponsored by Outshift by Cisco

Zero trust solutions are rapidly gaining traction and becoming more prevalent in ensuring secure communication from one workload to another. At its core, this model operates on a simple yet profound principle: "Never Trust, Always Verify." But how do we implement this? While many zero-trust solutions for workloads lean on network segmentation techniques, or service meshes, our approach is different. In this session, we'll explore the rationale and the technology behind our open source, Linux Kernel module-based approach. We will demonstrate how our system manages the automatic binding of identities, incorporating advanced encryption and access control mechanisms.

Marton Sereg, Senior Product Manager, Cisco

Marton is working on a Kernel space solution for zero trust networking as a product manager. With a robust software engineering background, he formerly contributed to Outshift’s R&D, primarily focusing on service meshes and server-side WebAssembly. A passionate advocate for open source, Marton's journey before joining Cisco includes pivotal work at a startup, where he was instrumental in launching several notable open source projects in the cloud-native space. Among these, "logging-operator" and "bank-vaults" stand out, both on track to become CNCF sandbox projects.
