Federal agencies and enterprises are on a mission to adopt a zero trust strategy
In an effort to improve government defenses against increasingly sophisticated and persistent threats, the President’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued M-22-09 Memorandum and CISA 23-01 Directive.
Risk and trust are dynamic. The move to a zero trust architecture (ZTA) is built on the principles of “Never Trust, Always Verify”. By establishing access based on context and continual, strict user authentication, trust is no longer implicit.
However, zero trust architecture does not address threats already inside the network — and weaponized data can continue to evade ZTA safeguards.
