The federal mandate that agencies utilize a Zero Trust architecture to strengthen cybersecurity has been in place for four years, and most federal agencies have made excellent progress toward meeting the deadlines spelled out in the Executive Order.

After all, having a zero trust architecture in place provides a comprehensive strategic approach for protecting against a wide range of cyberattacks.
