Zero Trust starts at the LAN

Zero Trust is often discussed as a network perimeter issue, or a cloud access problem. For many organisations, the only exposure they have to Zero Trust is through ZTNA – a term they’ve heard in the context of securing remote access. While important, ZTNA is just one narrow slice of a much broader architectural shift.

The reality is that trust begins and is most often abused within the LAN. The local network, long assumed to be safe, is typically the least segmented, least monitored, and most vulnerable part of any organisation’s infrastructure.

Evolving Networks challenges this assumption. Our approach to Zero Trust includes the LAN itself. With Zero Trust Isolate, built into every EVX, we eliminate implicit trust not just between sites, but between devices, segments, and protocols within a single site.

This paper explores how Zero Trust principles can be fully applied in single-site networks – even those without private WANs or remote branches – using ZERO SDWAN with Zero Trust Isolate.
