From Zero to Hero – How Cisco Deployed Zero Trust in Five Months
summary
Cisco deploys Zero Trust to over 100,000 users and 120,000 devices in five months by replacing VPN with a network gateway, issuing device and user certificates via a cloud CA and MFA, and running moment‑to‑moment posture checks tied to a certificate management system. A 35,000‑user pilot validates the flow for about 20 on‑prem apps initially, scales to hundreds, works during full work‑from‑home, and improves UX while increasing endpoint security.
