How it works

Understanding Zero Trust

The traditional castle-and-moat security model, which assumes that everything inside a corporate network can be trusted, is no longer viable. With a distributed workforce and cloud-hosted workloads, there is no longer a defined network perimeter. Zero Trust is a modern security framework built on the core principle of “never trust, always verify.” It requires continuous validation of every user, device, and request.

This assessment is mapped against the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Zero Trust Maturity Model, which organizes maturity across five core pillars: Identity, Devices, Networks, Applications, and Data. Progression in Zero Trust is incremental, moving from traditional manual setups to advanced and optimal stages characterized by automated orchestration, continuous posture checks, and dynamic micro-segmentation. By evaluating each pillar, you can identify the security gaps that expose you to the greatest risk and plan a practical migration roadmap.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What are the three core principles of Zero Trust?
The three core principles of Zero Trust are: 1. Verify explicitly (always authenticate and authorize based on all available data points), 2. Use least privilege access (restrict user access with Just-In-Time and Just-Enough-Access controls), and 3. Assume breach (minimize the blast radius and segment access).
What are the five CISA Zero Trust pillars?
The CISA model evaluates maturity across: 1. Identity (securing credentials and access), 2. Devices (securing and monitoring endpoints), 3. Networks (encrypting and segmenting communication), 4. Applications (securing workloads and APIs), and 5. Data (categorizing, encrypting, and tracking sensitive information).
Do we need to replace our entire infrastructure to implement Zero Trust?
No. Zero Trust is a set of design principles and an operational methodology, not a single product. You can implement Zero Trust incrementally, starting with high-impact measures like multi-factor authentication (MFA) and single sign-on (SSO), before moving to device posture checks and network micro-segmentation.
