Comment: NIST announcement on Zero Trust

The comment by Wade Ellery, Senior Solution Architect at
Radiant Logic, on the NIST announcing its new Zero Trust
architecture.
"The journey towards a Zero Trust starts with understanding the
transformative nature of this new IT security architecture. At the
core, Zero Trust enhances the knowledge available to make authentication
or authorisation decisions in a more secure and granular way. The
evolution of existing environments to a Zero Trust architecture can
start today with existing infrastructure and the incremental addition of
functionality with an eye on business continuity and end user
experience.
Today’s preliminary practice guide outlines several vetted scenarios
across a number of off-the-shelf technologies. NIST has done an
excellent job in ensuring that companies have the needed information in
a timely manner. Not only is the speed of delivery exceptional, the
collaboration with their partners and use of commercially available
products provides deep insights for successful ZTA implementations.
We are so excited to be included in this momentous project and look
forward to working closely with NIST and our fellow collaborators to
make Zero Trust achievable in the private sector."
