We define Zero Trust as a strategic approach to cybersecurity that secures an organization by eliminating implicit trust and continuously validating every stage of a digital interaction. Zero Trust simplifies risk management to a single use case: the removal of all implicit trust for users, applications and infrastructure. It’s a way for government agencies and other organizations to build resilience into their IT networks and environments.
The good news is that your agency can start implementing the Zero Trust process anywhere. You can use existing tools and capabilities to establish a starting line. For those in early stages, there are some factors to consider to help ensure a successful outcome.
Like every journey, Zero Trust requires a map or plan of action in order to move forward effectively. Think carefully about your focus areas and prioritize them. Taking on Zero Trust does not mean starting from scratch with your infrastructure. Conduct a rationalization of existing IT investments. Decide what your organization is actually using, what is working, what could be reconfigured or redeployed, and what new investments are truly needed.
Approach the plan holistically, aligning with a board, CIO or both, as well as driving a broader Zero Trust culture across your agency.
Achieving Zero Trust requires determining what your organization needs to reduce acute risk and achieve resilience. Adding metrics to your plan will also help keep it actionable and on track. Set goals for securing users, applications and infrastructure across the full spectrum of touch points, such as authenticating identity, verifying device and workload integrity, enforcing least-privilege access and scanning all transactions for legitimacy.
With these fundamentals in place, you can confidently begin your Zero Trust journey.
