Federal agencies are facing more and more cyber attacks – and the threat is growing. In fiscal year 2021 alone, more than 32,000 security incidents were reported to the Department of Homeland Security by civilian agencies. The Department of Defense reported 948 incidents that year, significantly fewer, but just as alarming because of the national security implications.
It is the growing danger of cyber attacks that led the White House to issue Executive Order 14028, “Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity,” in May 2021, followed by the January 2022 release of the Office of Management and Budget’s Federal Zero Trust Strategy. Even before those, the National Security Agency issued a Zero Trust security model that identified best practices and the benefits gained by implementing it.
Learning Objectives:
- Review the elements required to implement zero trust.
- Outline best practices for civilian and defense agencies, what they have in common and how they differ.
- Identify appropriate metrics and milestones for the zero trust journey.
