The Department of Homeland Security and the National Security Agency are on the leading edge to do more than test the concepts of zero trust.
The pandemic has brought to light two important factors for federal agencies. First, to deliver citizen services efficiently and rapidly in a distributed workforce, agencies need more robust IT architectures. Second, cyber threats are growing – and there is an increased need for stronger defenses.
The cybersecurity world is becoming more complex as threats from abroad and at home amp up the way they attack systems. That’s why many government agencies and companies are subtracting to zero when it comes to trust around their networks.
