Organizations aiming to enhance their Zero Trust maturity should focus on cybersecurity for applications and workloads. The National Security Agency (NSA) recently released a comprehensive cybersecurity information sheet outlining steps to advance these pillars. The ZT model emphasizes “never trust, always verify” for dynamic security updates. The Application and Workload pillar is a crucial component in all Zero Trust Models, emphasizing granular access control and continuous monitoring. Key areas include application inventory, C-SCRM, CI/CD, DevSecOps, automated risk-based authorization, and continuous monitoring. By implementing these strategies, organizations can effectively counter emerging threats and safeguard their essential applications and workloads.
