Agencies throughout the federal government are working hard to meet the zero trust mandate laid out in Executive Order 14028, “Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity,” and the Office of Management and Budget’s memorandum setting a Federal Zero Trust Strategy.

Implementing zero trust successfully requires more than investing in technology, however. It also requires adapting organizational culture to move from compliance-based security to a much more proactive approach. Users must understand why their identities and access are central to zero trust, and accept the changes it will bring to their routines. That means agency leaders across the board must be able to explain the changes and their necessity, and give users a stake in the outcome.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the role of agency leaders in communicating the elements of zero trust and how changes will affect the workplace
• Define metrics that show the impact of implementing a zero trust architecture on agencies’ ability to meet their mission
• Delineate the role that contractors and other partners will play in establishing a zero trust framework
