Security's First Pillar: Identity Modernization, DHS, and the

Government's Adoption of Zero Trust

Zero Trust is not a specific tool, but a concept that focuses security measures on devices and users rather than on the traditional network perimeter. The Biden administration’s Executive Order 14028, “Ensuring the Nation’s Cybersecurity”³ provides guidance for agencies in implementing a zero-trust approach.
