In the face of escalating attacks spanning broader scope, scale, and attrition, today’s public sector cybersecurity leaders must transition from simple compliance to more comprehensive risk management – while accelerating threat response and mean time to remediation (MTTR). From leveraging artificial intelligence-enabled automation to operationalizing zero trust, from fortifying cloud environments to mitigating supply chain vulnera...

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...

Federal agencies have been ordered to move toward zero trust architectures with alacrity, through Executive Order 14028 on improving cybersecurity and the Office of Management and Budget’s two memoranda, M-22-09 on meeting zero trust cybersecurity principles, and M-21-31 on improving investigative and remediation capabilities following cyber breaches. The Department of Homeland Security observed in its Zero Trust Implementation Strategy...

The implementation of zero-trust architecture (ZTA) requires a fundamental cultural change among and within different government agencies. “Never trust … Always verify” is a profound pivot from the current mindset inside the federal government. Unfortunately, as is well documented, the public sector accepts change slowly, which is a problem in this era of rapid technological change. Notably, adversaries of the United States...
