Zero Trust: Risks and Research Opportunities.

AD1126931

Publication Date	2021
Personal Author	Sanders, G.; Morrow, T.
Page Count	15
Abstract	Zero trust (ZT) is a cybersecurity paradigm that focuses on resource protection and the premise that trust is never granted implicitly but must be continually evaluated. It encompasses a collection of concepts and ideas designed to enforce least-privilege resource access to systems and services. To understand what areas of ZT research could be beneficial for the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) to pursue, we developed a notional U.S. government agency. We used this agency to develop an operational vignette to help understand the nodes and actors that would interact with the agency in a hybrid cloud ZT environment.
