Distrust vs Implicit Trust

Developers should learn and apply distrust principles when building systems that handle sensitive data, operate in untrusted environments (e meets developers should understand implicit trust to design secure systems, particularly in cloud, microservices, and zero-trust architectures where traditional perimeter-based security is insufficient. Here's our take.

Distrust

Nice Pick

Developers should learn and apply distrust principles when building systems that handle sensitive data, operate in untrusted environments (e

Pros

• Related to: zero-trust-architecture, security-principles

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Implicit Trust

Developers should understand implicit trust to design secure systems, particularly in cloud, microservices, and zero-trust architectures where traditional perimeter-based security is insufficient

Pros

• It is crucial for identifying vulnerabilities in authentication, authorization, and network configurations, such as in cases where internal services trust each other without validation
• Related to: zero-trust-architecture, authentication

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Distrust if: You want g and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Implicit Trust if: You prioritize it is crucial for identifying vulnerabilities in authentication, authorization, and network configurations, such as in cases where internal services trust each other without validation over what Distrust offers.

The Bottom Line

Distrust wins

Developers should learn and apply distrust principles when building systems that handle sensitive data, operate in untrusted environments (e
