Building A Zero Trust Architecture Using Kubernetes
Daniel D'Silva, Dayanand Ambawade
Abstract
In the twenty-first century, trust has become an influential factor in people and organizations. As the world is advancing digitally, mobile and cloud services have become the principal drivers of this era. The conventional frameworks to protect such an environment have dissolved. There existed a period where organization resources were put away inside the secure perimeter and regarded as safe. Moreover, the recent work-from-home culture provides attackers with a rather significant opportunity to breach security controls. Everybody is deemed trustworthy inside the network, allowing an intruder to gain escalated access inside the perimeter. These fortresses currently permit clients to get sustained information from outside the fortification since everybody is `trusted excessively.' making our current foundation defenseless to attackers. This paper proves `Zero Trust' as another worldview of online protection. It explores the previous work related to Zero Trust implementation and its research. It discusses Zero Trust as a potential for future network security. It uses containers to implement the architecture, which responds to various types of attacks. It focuses on security at every OSI model layer and the advantages and disadvantages of Zero Trust Architecture.
