This guide has been prepared so that IT and security administrators can understand how BeyondTrust Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions map into guidelines set forth in the NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-2017 on Zero Trust Architecture. NIST defines these core concepts as follows:

• Zero Trust (ZT) is the term for an evolving set of cybersecurity paradigms that move defenses from static, network- based perimeters to focus on users, assets, and resources.
• Zero Trust architecture (ZTA) uses zero trust principles to plan industrial and enterprise infrastructure and workflows.
