Zero Trust
Zero trust is a framework built on the principle of “never trust, always verify,” which is critical for agencies handling sensitive information and operating in complex threat environments. It requires verification for every user, device and application attempting to access resources, regardless of location. This approach assumes that breaches are inevitable and focuses on minimizing the “blast radius” of an attack by limiting lateral movement and enforcing granular access control. For government and defense entities, zero-trust architectures enhance security posture by protecting against insider threats and adversarial external attacks. By implementing it, agencies can better safeguard critical data, systems, and infrastructure, ensuring mission continuity and national security.
