In a recent memorandum by Shalanda D. Young, Acting Director of the President's Office of Management and Budget, issued M-22-09, outlining a strategic move towards implementing Zero Trust Cybersecurity Principles across various executive departments and agencies. This initiative underscores the government's commitment to enhancing cybersecurity measures and safeguarding critical digital infrastructure.
Zero Trust Cybersecurity Principles:
The memo emphasizes the adoption of Zero Trust Cybersecurity Principles, a security framework that challenges traditional security models by assuming that threats can exist both inside and outside the network. It calls for a comprehensive reevaluation of security strategies, urging agencies to prioritize identity verification, strict access controls, and continuous monitoring to mitigate cyber threats effectively.
