Great to see them continue this series, and glad that this one touches on what it takes for other companies to achieve something similar. I talk about BeyondCorp a lot as evidence that the Zero Trust model works, and that employees will love it.
The most common feedback I get is that it seems like too much of a stretch for companies that don’t operate at Google scale. That may be true if looking at the system as a whole, but the principles behind the architecture should attract anyone’s attention - remove trust from the network by authenticating and authorizing every request based on what’s known about the user and connecting device at the time of the request.
