Forrester Research created the concept of a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). This began centered around protecting networks and underlying architecture. Microsoft and others have expanded the concept to include the following components to protect: Applications, Data, Endpoints, Identities, Infrastructure, Network, Policy Optimization, Policy Enforcement, and Threat Protection.
NIST is working with Microsoft, The Open Group, CISA, and others to unify a ZTA security model. Click the link below to download the NIST white paper on ZTA.
The goal of ZTA deployments are to secure all threat vectors related to the new hybrid workspace that has emerged as a result of the shift in work due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
JADEX believes that applying a ZTA to your entire digital landscape is only possible through the use of Microsoft technologies and services. Implementing a ZTA will require a comprehensive plan with foresight and vision. First, you must prioritize milestones and assets.
