Perimeter-only security fails the moment a single compromised credential lands inside the network. Zero trust flips the default: authenticate and authorize every request, every time.
What we enforce
- Identity before connectivity for operator and tenant paths
- Least-privilege routes between namespaces and services
- Forward-auth on sensitive edges so anonymous probing dies early
- Audit trails that show who reached what, and when
Pair this with Authelia and Keycloak and you get a coherent story: network posture and identity posture reinforce each other.
