"The Rise of Zero Trust"

This article comes from Route Fifty

In recent years, zero trust has become a priority for governments bolstering their cybersecurity posture amid increasing threats to agencies’ IT infrastructure. Following recent guidance from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, governments at all levels are moving toward a zero trust architecture, locking down their data, device and cloud access, and strengthening identity and access management. Even with available public resources and vendor support to help them adopt zero trust practices, state and local governments are often stymied by legacy technology, staffing shortages and limited budgets.
