Lakshminarayanan also said that Google Cloud Platform will launch a beta of Cloud Identity for Customers and Partners (CICP) in a move that will manage identity and access management.

Update: Microsoft has released a Zero Trust Maturity Model paper. Like most design principles, it is not something that one can achieve or implement simply by slapping on an expensive product from a security vendor. 'We've had a lot of success internally with the model and what we've received good feedback from customers, but they wanted to use it (Cloud Identity and BeyondCorp) throughout the organization and as a standalone product,' said Lakshminarayanan. Zero Trust (ZT) is a design principle that was popularized by GoogleвЂ™s BeyondCorp architecture in 2014. Google's BeyondCorp approach is being used in Google Cloud Platform's Cloud Identity service, which was launched at Google Cloud Next in London. Every application and API is on the Internet.

Every request to applications or data must be encrypted, authenticated and authorized.The BeyondCorp model, cooked up by Google in 2011, has the following tenants: Also: Google shuts down Google+ after API bug exposed details for over 500,000 users | Google sets new rules for third-party apps to access Gmail data Tools like VPNs and trusted corporate networks worked for years, but once companies have to collaborate with customers and partners as well as contractors, the traditional model breaks down. The technology behind Cloud Identity was used within G Suite, but is now being broken out on their own, said Karthik Lakshminarayanan, Product Management Director at Google Cloud Platform.Д«eyondCorp is a security model that assumes that there is no perimeter to the enterprise. Google will offer its cloud identity tools-based on a security framework called BeyondCorp-as a standalone tool with one console and platform to manage users, devices, apps and access.
