What does NIST say about Zero Trust?
NIST sees zero trust as a set of seven tenets, all working together to secure company resources continuously:
- All data sources and computing services are considered resources.
- All communication is secured regardless of network location.
- Access to individual enterprise resources is granted on a per-session basis.Access to resources is determined by dynamic policy—including the observable state of client identity, application/service, and the requesting asset—and may include other behavioral and environmental attributes.
- The enterprise monitors and measures the integrity and security posture of all owned and associated assets.
- All resource authentication and authorization are dynamic and strictly enforced before access is allowed.
- The enterprise collects as much information as possible about the current state of assets, network infrastructure and communications and uses it to improve its security posture.
How long has zero trust been around?
John Kindervag, a former Forrester analyst, is credited with coining the term “zero trust” in 2009. The security term got a boost in popularity when Google announced in 2014 that they were moving to a zero trust security model. Read More.
Is zero trust a long term security solution?
Short answer: yes. It is currently considered best practice by many security professionals. The US government issued a memo on January 26, 2022, with the subject line reading “Moving the U.S. Government Towards Zero Trust Cybersecurity Principles.”
This memo sets the groundwork for creating a zero trust architecture for federal agencies. It also set the ambitious goal of meeting this objective by the end of 2024. This move by the US federal government highlights the growing popularity of zero trust because of the strong security it provides. Read More.
