BeyondCorp

BeyondCorp is an implementation, by Google, of zero-trust computer security concepts creating a zero trust network.[1][2][3][4][5][6] It was created in 2009 in response to Operation Aurora.[7] An open source implementation inspired by Google's research paper on an access proxy is known as "transcend".[8]

Security mechanisms

Unlike traditional VPNs, BeyondCorp's access policies are based on information about a device, its state, and its associated user. BeyondCorp considers both internal networks and external networks to be completely untrusted, and gates access to applications by dynamically asserting and enforcing levels, or “tiers,” of access.[9]
