Zero Trust has evolved from a network concept into a buzzword — often promising “Zero Trust Everywhere” without delivering it in practice. In this session, Thomas Fricke looks behind the curtain of real-world Zero Trust implementations.

You’ll explore where hidden trust still exists: in service mesh containers, key management systems, confidential computing environments, and even in people and processes that were never designed with Zero Trust in mind. The session goes beyond marketing claims and focuses on the hard questions you must ask when implementing Zero Trust across your entire software stack.
