Zero Trust Architecture

Federal agencies, seeking both compliance with a White House executive order and better cybersecurity in reality, are rapidly adopting the zero trust model for controlling access to their networks.

They’re learning that zero trust, like a cake, has many elements that, once combined, are difficult to separate. Zero trust is often described as a mindset. It is. But it’s also a set of technical strategies, products and procedures. A mindset is difficult to quantify, but zero trust requires work and investment.

In this exclusive Federal News Network executive briefing, sponsored by Tanium, the following executives discuss their approach to building a flexible and dynamic zero trust network.
