Earlier this year I wrote that, in 2021, government security leaders need to adopt a true Zero Trust framework—an approach that ensures the right people have the right level of access, to the right resources, in the right context. And that access must be assessed continuously—all without adding friction for the user. Meanwhile, it should add as much friction as possible for attackers. In short, a Zero Trust approach to security is no longer a suggestion—it’s essential. Over the last few months, it’s been encouraging to see the positive momentum among both government and industry security leaders, who’ve all taken action to make Zero Trust a reality across different agencies. As an example, see this article about Zero Trust driving DOD's identity management evolution. Just this month, both the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) took key steps in this journey. OMB.
