This episode of The Connected Frontier explores Cybersecurity Mesh Architecture (CSMA) as a modern solution to the "tool sprawl" and the disappearance of the traditional network perimeter in a multi-cloud, remote-work world. It breaks down the four foundational layers of the mesh—intelligence, identity, policy, and visibility—while detailing NIST technical standards for service meshes. The discussion highlights how adopting this integrated ecosystem can reduce the financial impact of security incidents by 90% and provides a roadmap for organizations to transition toward an identity-centric security posture.

Today, we’re diving into a concept that gets mentioned everywhere in cybersecurity conversations, vendor decks, and government strategy documents—but is still widely misunderstood.

That concept is Zero Trust.

Zero Trust isn’t a product. It’s not a single tool. And despite the name, it’s not about distrusting everyone all the time.

Instead, it’s a fundamental shift in how we think about access, identity, and risk in a world where the old network perimeter has basically disappeared.

In this episode, we’re going to unpack what Zero Trust actually means, why it emerged, and how it works in practice—from user identity and device trust to adaptive access and continuous verification.

Whether you’re deeply technical or just Zero Trust–curious, my goal is that you walk away understanding why this model matters—and why it’s becoming foundational to modern cybersecurity.

Now, 6G is still emerging in research and standardization — but already, industry players are articulating what they believe the architecture must deliver, and how it should be designed. So in this episode we’ll cover:

• what 6G is setting out to achieve (the use-cases and demands driving it),
  
  
• the high-level architectural shifts compared with 5G,
  
  
• and then drill into five (or so) core pillars of the 6G architecture — what they are, why they matter, and what they mean in practice.
  
  

Finally we’ll look at some of the challenges and what to watch for as 6G moves toward commercial reality.
