My company's IT leadership is pushing for a full transition to a Zero Trust Security model over the next year, moving away from our traditional perimeter-based network. As a mid-level sysadmin, I'm tasked with helping plan the implementation, particularly for our hybrid workforce. I understand the core principle of "never trust, always verify," but I'm grappling with the practical rollout, especially around device posture checking and micro-segmentation for our on-prem servers. For teams who have undergone this shift, what were the biggest technical and cultural hurdles you faced? Did you start with identity and access management or network segmentation first, and are there specific tools or frameworks you found indispensable for a successful implementation without crippling productivity?
