The US NIST published a great guide on a zero trust architecture that definitely is worth reading and details the elements, deployment and deployment scenarios and reference to other material to help people get started with zero trust.
ACT IAC on Zero Trust trends
The American Council for Technology-Industry Advisory Council (ACT-IAC), a non commercial organisation for creating a more innovative government published a paper on Zero Trust
I would recommend this paper for anybody remotely thinking about Zero Trust, be it because you start thinking about introducing it or because it is just one of those trends that you want to catch up on.
There is a huge amount of truth and knowledge in this document and it is not having any marketing in it. I read it and thought this is sound advice for anyone that looks to improve their security posture with the ultimate, long term Zero Trust goal in mind.

The origins
Zero Trust is not exactly a new idea, but a name for a architecture that takes least privilege as the first design principle and assumes nothing can be trusted. I am not sure who established the category at this moment, but it seems Google and Forrester Research have both been working on this. John Kindervag (@kindervag) originally published the model in 2010. That paper is still valid 9 years after the first publication and it shows great foresight and vision. Kudos to that.
