Clear trust boundaries
Treat infrastructure services, platforms, and supporting components as assets that require explicit control rather than inherited trust.
Pillar focus
Infrastructure still matters, even when trust is no longer anchored to the network alone.
UNIFY helps organisations apply Zero Trust thinking to the systems that host services, carry operational dependencies, and support modern and legacy workloads alike.
Zero Trust infrastructure still needs clear trust boundaries, stronger operational control, and better assurance across critical platforms.
Operating outcomes
What Zero Trust infrastructure thinking should deliver
Stronger operational control
Improve how administrative access, privileged use, and service-to-service trust are managed across mixed infrastructure estates.
Assurance for critical platforms
Support stronger evidence and review around the infrastructure that hosts applications, identity services, and sensitive workloads.
Less implicit trust
Reduce the assumption that internal location alone makes infrastructure interactions safe or appropriate.
Control model
Make the signal useful to the whole Zero Trust model.
Where it shows up
Infrastructure scenarios that commonly matter
Cloud and hybrid platforms
Environments where modern cloud services must coexist with on-premises infrastructure and long-lived dependencies.
Identity-supporting infrastructure
Directories, supporting services, and operational platforms that remain foundational to access and trust decisions.
Privileged operational access
Administrative paths into servers, services, and platforms that require tighter control and clearer review.
Legacy operational dependencies
Core systems that still matter to delivery but cannot be modernised all at once.
