How to achieve the pillars of zero trust at federal agencies

The White House's Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity and the Office of Management and Budget's memo on Zero Trust Cybersecurity Principles have accelerated the urgency for federal IT and security leaders to implement zero trust (ZT) frameworks. Zero trust involves a "never trust, always verify" approach, requiring continuous verification and enforcing least privilege to minimize security risks. Agencies are expected to align with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s Zero Trust Maturity Model, which focuses on identity, devices, networks, applications/workloads, and data. Despite 75% of federal cybersecurity decision-makers aggressively adopting ZT, 87% feel pressured by the rapid timeline for compliance. This has led many to turn to Dynatrace for enhanced observability, providing deep visibility, analytics, and automation to support the effective implementation of zero trust principles. Dynatrace offers a comprehensive platform to aid federal agencies in meeting the CISA model's requirements and mitigating sophisticated security threats.
