We ask senior IT industry executives for their thoughts on the likely confluence of SDN, Cloud, Edge and Zero-trust in the near future.
In this the 12th in the cointroversial questions series, we wanted to hear the thoughts of industry executives regarding the next round of technology restructures.
This is the question we asked:

In this instance, I m thinking of Software-Defined Networking, Cloud Computing, Edge Computing and Zero-trust as a combined wave about to crash over a lot of highly-valued sand castles. Once everything is in the cloud, all anyone will need is a client computer (think Chromebook or Amazon Fire) - local execution (of anything) will be a thing of the past. There are some obvious winners and losers here.

The concept of “Zero Trust” was coined back in 2010, on the basis that traditional perimeter security models failed to provide adequate protection because the idea of a trusted internal network and untrusted external network is inherently flawed. The solution is to change the trust model, so that no user is automatically trusted.
Today, Zero Trust Access (ZTA) has become something of a buzzword in the industry, with many vendors offering their ZTA solutions. Even the latest executive order on cybersecurity from President Joe Biden includes mandates for Zero Trust. Although the term is seemingly everywhere, implementation continues to lag. A big part of the reason for the slow adoption is there are still a lot of confusion and unknowns about ZTA, what it actually means, and how you get started.
