What is zero trust?

As organizations leverage cloud services and mobility, attack surfaces grow in tandem with overall security risks. A new approach is needed to better protect workloads outside of an organization's traditional controls. Zero trust is a security framework that implements the principal of "least privilege" by dynamically verifying identity and assessing the risk of each transaction. By implementing zero trust across all networks -- including public and private clouds -- it allows security teams to gain back control and improve visibility.

Zscaler Zero Trust Lab

Zscaler is responsible for securing more than 400 of the Forbes Global 2000 companies. They provide security as a service delivered through a purpose-built, globally distributed platform. The focus of this lab is zero trust access utilizing a solution known as Zscaler Private Access (ZPA). ZPA is a cloud service that provides seamless, zero trust access to private applications running on public cloud or within the data center. With ZPA, applications don't need to be exposed to the internet, making them completely invisible to unauthorized users. This service enables the applications to connect to users via inside-out connectivity versus extending the network to them. It disrupts legacy approaches to remote access such as traditional VPN, establishing per-service dynamic encryption and trust evaluation.

Public Sector Tech Talk E05: Adopting Zero Trust in Support of the Cyber Executive Order

The Biden Administration's Cyber Executive Order (EO), officially released on May 12, lays out a multi-pronged approach on how to fortify federal agency cybersecurity efforts and mitigate the large-scale, damaging attacks felt across the country. The Cyber EO provides direction, now it's up to each agency to develop a cohesive strategy. Zero Trust is a concept highlighted in the EO and one that will need to be part of any agency strategy, but is there a consensus on what this means or how to achieve it? In this Public Sector Tech Talk, WWT and F5 will discuss how federal agencies need to move away from traditional network perimeter defense tactics to a perimeter-less data environment that uses identity and authentication tools as the primary means of access in a centralized, controlled Zero Trust framework.

Public Sector Tech Talk E13: Moving to a Zero Trust Framework

As the threat landscape continues to evolve, government agencies cannot simply add another tool to their security stack as a method of protection. The Cyber Executive Order (EO) calls on agencies to adopt a Zero Trust framework, one that requires more than a simple point product, but a comprehensive strategy and overarching view of an agency's cyber posture. In a cloud first world, how can agencies accelerate their journey to Zero Trust given the current and evolving cyberspace environment? And what does the future hold? This Public Sector Tech Talk will discuss considerations and recommendations in implementing a Zero Trust framework. It will address how network and asset visibility are key components in understanding risk levels and how analytics can play into this strategy. Finally, it will address how the Cyber EO will shape the agency strategy of the future.
