Zero Trust Evolution: Meeting Federal Cybersecurity Standards

Cybersecurity leaders across the public sector understand that implementing zero trust security mandates goes far beyond a mere checklist item. It necessitates a profound paradigm shift, where security becomes not just foundational but a guiding principle in strategic planning. The recent OMB memorandum 22-09 outlines a Federal zero trust architecture strategy, emphasizing the pressing need for agencies to meet stringent cybersecurity standards by Fiscal Year 2024. Central to this strategy are identity-driven security measures, such as multi-factor authentication, aimed at shielding personnel from sophisticated cyber threats. However, it is essential to recognize that this memorandum marks not the endpoint but a crucial step towards establishing a robust zero trust architecture.
