"NSA Releases Maturity Guidance for the Zero Trust Network and Environment Pillar"

The National Security Agency (NSA) has released a Cybersecurity Information Sheet (CSI) on how to limit adversarial lateral movement within an organization's network aimed at gaining access to sensitive data and critical systems. The CSI, titled "Advancing Zero Trust Maturity Throughout the Network and Environment Pillar," explains how to use zero trust principles to strengthen internal network control and contain network intrusions to a specific network segment. NSA Cybersecurity Director Rob Joyce emphasized that organizations must operate with the mindset that threats exist within their systems' boundaries. He adds that this guidance aims to provide network owners and operators with the processes they need to proactively resist, detect, and respond to threats that exploit flaws or gaps in their enterprise architecture. This article continues to discuss the CSI on advancing the zero trust maturity.
