Zero Trust is a strategic approach to cybersecurity that secures an organization by eliminating implicit trust and continuously validating every stage of digital interaction. It’s a way for state and local governments to build resilience into their IT environments. With the volume of cyberattacks against government agencies at an all time high, and in light of recent federal mandates, the Zero Trust Model has become increasingly important for state and local government IT leaders who need to keep up with digital transformation and adapt to the ever-changing security landscape.
