Thycotic comment on Pentagon Zero Trust cyber office coming in December
November 2021 by Joseph Carson, chief security scientist at ThycoticCentrify
Following the news that next month, the Pentagon will launch a new
office dedicated to accelerating the adoption of a new zero trust
cybersecurity model - Joseph Carson, chief security scientist at
ThycoticCentrify offers the following comment:
_"This is the right step by the DoD - but one thing that must not be
overlooked is that the concept of Zero Trust is not a typical security
solution, but a mindset. There is no standard list of boxes that can be
ticked off, it is instead a journey that is unique for every
organisation based on its distinct infrastructure and business
objectives. Zero Trust is an approach to operate and adapt security
measures that continuously verify authorisation._
_Zero Trust is all about reducing risk without increasing friction for
users while simultaneously it should be creating as much friction as
possible for threat actors. The more difficult it is for them to gain
access, the more noise they are likely to make, and the easier it will
be to identify and stop them before they cause damage."
