Ever since the issuance of Executive Order 14028, issued in May 2021 to improve cybersecurity across the entire government by implementing a zero trust architecture, federal agencies have been hard at work to meet the requirement. Then, in October 2023 – less than 18 months later – a new executive order, 14110, was released on the “Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence.” These are...

Ongoing government-wide zero trust implementations exemplify the fact that traditional end-point and perimeter-based security are not enough to protect valuable data. Enter data-centric security, which offers CISOs transformative opportunities to fortify data protection, compliance adherence and operational efficiency. Yet, ensuring robust defense mechanisms remains imperative, given the diverse pathways to data each with its own unique securi...

Achieving complete visibility across complex federal environments is at the crux of effective defense against today’s relentless threat landscape, as well as a core tenet of zero trust and compliance. Yet gaining an in-depth, accurate inventory of all IT, OT, IoT, mobile, and remote assets has proven elusive for many federal agencies despite deploying tools to this end. Existing solutions have consistently failed to uncover risky unknown...

Do you have all the parts of zero trust in place to control risk to your crown jewels? If you don't know where to start, you probably need to assess your situation. Using a zero trust readiness assessment you can see what parts of the people, process, and technology triad you already have in place and what you don't. With a readiness assessment you can figure out what to focus on first in order to tackle the remaining parts of the zero trust j...

Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) incorporates many aspects of effective cyber security…but not all of them. There are many elements of information security that are implied in ZTA but are not explicitly stated. These include role-based access control (RBAC), identity management, key management and threat intelligence. Together, constitute the zero trust environment, which must be in place for the architecture to be implemented. ZTA plus th...

In the realm of government cybersecurity, the Zero Trust framework stands as a beacon of defense against evolving threats. Central to its efficacy are the principles of identity and access management, which redefine traditional security paradigms. Zero Trust advocates for perpetual verification of users, devices, and resources, emphasizing a “never trust, always verify” mantra. Identity verification, facilitated by multifactor auth...
