The entire concept of zero trust can be boiled down to four words – never trust, always verify. But short, simple statements usually have a lot of moving parts to make them reality. When the Office of Management and Budget issued its Federal Zero Trust Strategy in January 2022, it set the end of Fiscal Year 2024 – September 30, 2024 – as the completion date for a host of cybersecurity standards and objectives to be completed in order to achieve zero trust. The clock is ticking.
In the meantime, technologies continue to evolve and many agencies have embraced the “app culture,” empowering employee teams to develop apps that fit their needs. But that introduces a new problem on the road to zero trust – how to maintain consistency in applying attribute-based access control, which requires consistency in data tags. This is critical to automated privileged access, centralized management of that access, and continuous monitoring and removal of unnecessary privileged access as circumstances change.
