Practitioner-written. Short. Useful at the buying-committee level. No SEO sludge, no thought-leader voiceover.

Read the field note →Zero-trust isn't a product purchase. A read on what M-23-22 means at the architecture level, telemetry, identity, and the agencies catching real heat in their FITARA scorecards.
