Breaking the System into Tiny Little Pieces: Zero Trust & Microsegmentation for States, Localities & Education



The cybersecurity slogan for zero trust is a simple one: Never trust, always verify. States, localities, tribes and territories face the same cyber threats as the federal government, and many of their agencies are wrestling through how they can implement zero trust architectures.

 

One of the most important elements in pursuing zero trust is implementing microsegmentation — partitioning a network into small, isolated sections to reduce the attack surface, prevent lateral movement, and lower risk. Each microsegment is usually defined by specific security policies, accessible only to authorized users and devices.

 

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify the steps to visualize connections and workflow for purposes of microsegmentation
  • Review mechanisms for establishing standardization of policies and procedures for consistently applied access levels
  • Delineate the relationship between microsegmentation and the larger objective of zero trust architecture
  • Define metrics for progress in implementing microsegmentation and tracking its effectiveness
