Zero Trust can be a confusing concept for many organizations, especially for those that are at an early stage of its adoption. Zero Trust solutions protect networks, applications, and data based on the concept of "never trust, always verify." In a Zero Trust environment, identity is the core security control used by security teams that "assume breach" because any user or device is a potential threat actor. Join us on October 14th for a live we...

The White House Executive Order issued in May directs federal agencies to, through bold changes and significant investments, apply zero trust practices to strengthen cybersecurity across government and the private sector. The EO sets objectives and timeframes but does not guide the strategies to achieve those outcomes. Unlike many EOs, however, the administration is allocating funding to help agencies undertake the work – from the edge a...

While the concept of Zero Trust has been around for some time, the publication of NIST SP 800-207 (Zero Trust Architecture) has provided clarity, definition, and a recommended approach to a Zero Trust Architecture. President Biden's May 12th Executive Order has created a policy for Federal Agencies to adopt a Zero Trust Architecture, which will likely impact State and Local Government agencies, service providers, supply chains, and private ent...
