Traditional or perimeter network security models are designed to focus on keeping attackers out of the network but is vulnerable to users and devices inside the network. Zero Trust security models assume the network has been compromised and challenges the user or device to prove that they are not attackers.
In this age and time of near boundary-less network systems can we rely on Zero trust models for securing our networks against information systems attacks?
Yes, Hybrid models to satisfy the Mutual authentication, where Mutual authentication occurs if both entities are authenticated to each other in the same protocol, there are several protocols including checking the identity and integrity of devices.
Dear Tadiwa Elisha Nyamasvisva,
Perimeter based security in high tech business and government agencies is a preferred security approach. Adding up mutual authentication of users and devices in every connection strengths farther the overall security. The links below may shed some light to your question:

Whilst the traditional zero trust perimeter model is still applicable in any architectural design, the borderless nature of modern network topology requires a more holistic approach to security. Therefore, the deployment of a hybrid model would appear to provide better protection.
yes. Zero Trust model based on identify “protect surface.” The protect surface is made up of the network’s most critical and valuable data, assets, applications and services(DASS) . Protect surfaces are unique for each organization. It contains only what’s most critical to an organization’s operations, the protect surface is orders of magnitude smaller than the attack surface, and it is always knowable.
ZTS and the traditional perimeter models compliments each other, however, I would look at ZTS with a probable eye while the latter with with "some" degree of accuracy wrt to detecting potential attacks.
Thanks so much for the contribution Victor R Kebande . If you do not mind sharing what will be your concerns regarding ZTS. Your contributions will be very useful to us as we continue to learn .
Hi visit the following. (http://all.net/) it will give a lot of clarifications about ZTS
