Lessons From Our Zero Trust Journey: Successes, Failures & Dodging Pitfalls
summary
Organization starts Zero Trust in 2017 and completes a four year journey by rearchitecting around Google’s BeyondCorp approach, Okta for IAM, LogRhythm for UEBA/SIEM, Carbon Black/Cylance endpoints, Intune/Kandji MDM, Centrify PAM and a SaaS policy broker (Zscaler/Palo Alto choice). Implementation yields 99% of firewalls removed, roughly 30–40% cost savings versus legacy appliances, major IT ticket reduction from automated provisioning, smooth COVID remote pivot, and lingering need to budget for custom integrations and periodic re‑evaluation.
