Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s emergency management commissioner wants the city to start a “counter-drone program” to deal with potentially dangerous remote-controlled machines being flown over Lollapalooza, the Chicago Marathon or other events.

The primary driver in the zero-trust model is that both external and internal networks are to be secured and operated under the assumption that the networks cannot be trusted (i.e., don’t trust your network; assume it is compromised). We had used such a model in corporate IT in the early 2000s, especially segmenting users from the servers inside the corporate network.
