In a Zero Trust Model, how do the Control Plane and Data Plane components interact to ensure secure access to resources?
The Control Plane and Data Plane work together to establish trust boundaries, but do not directly interact in the policy-driven access control process.
The Control Plane evaluates access requests against security policies, and the Data Plane enforces the access decisions made by the Control Plane.
The Data Plane evaluates access requests against security policies, and the Control Plane enforces the access decisions made by the Data Plane.
The Control Plane and Data Plane operate independently, with the Control Plane focusing on identity management and the Data Plane handling threat scope reduction.
In a Zero Trust Model, the Control Plane continuously evaluates access requests against defined security policies, considering factors such as identity, device, and context. When an access request is deemed valid by the Control Plane, it instructs the Data Plane to establish a secure, encrypted connection between the authenticated user or device and the requested resource. The Data Plane enforces the access decision made by the Control Plane, ensuring that only authorized traffic is allowed. This interaction between the Control Plane and Data Plane enables granular, policy-driven access control, reducing the overall threat scope by granting access on a need-to-know basis.
