PDQ

Zero trust didn’t become a thing because IT teams wanted another framework to memorize. It became a thing because the old assumptions broke.

Robert Kulp has been in IT long enough to remember when the network felt a lot smaller. Fewer devices. Fewer entry points. A cleaner line between “inside” and “outside.”

That job doesn’t exist anymore.

The new reality involves more verification, less convenience, and fewer comfortable assumptions.

Which is annoying. And also necessary.

The first PDQ "aha" moment usually hits when something deploys faster than you expected.

Not after building some giant, over-engineered policy. Not after clicking through a maze of settings.

It’s when groups, packages, and automations start working together and you realize routine updates don’t have to eat your afternoon.

A machine lands in the right group. The right package is ready. The deployment runs. Fast. Quietly. Without you babysitting every device like it’s going to wander off and break something.

When it’s set up right, the first “wait … that’s it?” moment comes pretty fast.
