Default Permissive Policies vs Zero Trust
Developers should understand this concept when designing or maintaining systems where initial setup simplicity is critical, such as in rapid prototyping or internal tools where security risks are minimal meets developers should learn zero trust to build secure applications in modern environments like cloud, hybrid, and remote work setups, where traditional network perimeters are ineffective. Here's our take.

Default Permissive Policies
Nice PickDevelopers should understand this concept when designing or maintaining systems where initial setup simplicity is critical, such as in rapid prototyping or internal tools where security risks are minimal
Pros
- +It's also relevant for troubleshooting access issues in environments that use permissive defaults, but it's generally discouraged for production systems due to increased vulnerability to attacks like unauthorized access or data breaches
- +Related to: least-privilege, access-control
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Zero Trust
Developers should learn Zero Trust to build secure applications in modern environments like cloud, hybrid, and remote work setups, where traditional network perimeters are ineffective
Pros
- +It's essential for protecting sensitive data, complying with regulations (e
- +Related to: identity-and-access-management, network-security
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Default Permissive Policies if: You want it's also relevant for troubleshooting access issues in environments that use permissive defaults, but it's generally discouraged for production systems due to increased vulnerability to attacks like unauthorized access or data breaches and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Zero Trust if: You prioritize it's essential for protecting sensitive data, complying with regulations (e over what Default Permissive Policies offers.
