Trust Reconsidered
Zero Trust Security
Supporting Your Transition to Zero Trust
The Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) transition process is complex, comprehensive, and will require cross-agency resources working together with a multi-year commitment to stay the course. The good news is that ZTA works! It will vastly improve the odds in the ongoing struggle between organizations and bad actors in cyberspace and strengthen the organizational culture of continuous improvement in cybersecurity.
The Problem
Challenges
Agencies are suffering from a three-pronged challenge:
- possible compromise by foreign and domestic threat actors
- legacy technology which often cannot keep up with the threat landscape
- lack of subject matter experts to properly advise and implement ZTA
- Zero Trust takes a deep understanding of security principles, architectures, and technologies that will form the complex matrix of ZTA
- Many agencies don’t currently have the technological capabilities to meet all Zero Trust Activities
- A Zero Trust Architecture very much remains a custom solution that requires multiple tools working in conjunction to achieve the highest degree of protection
- The organizational change and impact on culture that comes with a shift to a new level of cross-organizational communication and role analysis
The Solution
Our Approach
Policy Creation
Briefing critical stakeholders on Zero Trust in clear, understandable, and jargon-free language. Recommend change management, communication strategies, and tactics based on the roadmap to achieve ZTA.
Gap Analysis
Throughout this engagement, InquisIT’s subject-matter experts will perform a Gap Analysis generally leveraging the maturity standard outlined within the DoD Zero Trust Reference Architecture. We assess critical areas of the agency relative to a complete implementation of Zero Trust and industry best practices.
Evaluation
InquisIT evaluates the use of the technologies at your agency today to see how they can be optimized to increase the Zero Trust capabilities; we recommend efficient methods and use of technologies.
White Paper:
Understanding Zero Trust (ZT) & Navigating the Transition to Zero Trust Architecture
Recommendations
Once completed, you will receive a final presentation and “Roadmap to ZTA”. This approach is designed to provide both an executable plan, technology recommendations, support and change management techniques as well as answer policy requirements. With an at-a-glance benchmark of your environment in its current state and accompanying roadmap for defining and acquiring the next level, your agency will be ahead!
Implementation
InquisIT Engineers, Consultants, and Program Support staff provide oversight and engagement support. While the ZTA execution resources are in many organizations today, the resource to support, oversee, and coordinate will be needed in many organizations to assure successful implementation.
