The U.S. Government has embarked on an endeavor to improve cyber security, including critical infrastructure by migrating to zero trust architecture with the deadline for executive departments and agencies to meet specific standards and objectives by the end of FY 2024.
OMB Memo M-22-09 states, The foundational tenet of the Zero Trust Model is that no actor, system, network, or service operating outside or within the security perimeter is trusted. Instead, we must verify anything and everything attempting to establish access. It is a dramatic paradigm shift in philosophy of how we secure our infrastructure, networks, and data, from verify once...
