CLOSING THE 1% GAP THAT’S COSTING YOU MILLIONS

February 16, 2018

Worldwide enterprise security spending is expected to reach $96.3 billion in 2018, an increase of 8 percent from 20171 . Organizations are spending more on security than ever before, but the number and severity of cyber attacks is on the rise, resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars in losses for businesses worldwide. Despite advancements in cybersecurity, malware is still getting through existing defenses. Ofen malware exploits legitimate business applications through a single compromised endpoint to gain a foothold on an entire organization before spreading laterally, resulting in catastrophic data breaches, damage, and destruction. The constantly shifing cybersecurity landscape and the growing sophistication of attackers are making it exceedingly dificult to build prevention systems that can detect the newest exploits. This is especially evident when zero-day attacks such as WannaCry2 first break out, rapidly infecting organizations through a previously undetected flaw in computer operating systems. Even when a fix becomes available, the ransomware continues to spread at an incredible speed through companies who have not yet patched their devices.

Zero Trust Maturity Model

whitePaper | April 28, 2023

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) leads the nation’s effort to understand, manage, and reduce cybersecurity risk, including by supporting Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies in evolving and operationalizing cybersecurity programs and capabilities. CISA’s Zero Trust Maturity Model (ZTMM) provides an approach to achieve continued modernization efforts related to zero trust within a rapidly evolving environment and technology landscape. This ZTMM is one of many paths that an organization can take in designing and implementing their transition plan to zero trust architectures in accordance with Executive Order (EO) 14028 “Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity” § (3)(b)(ii),1 which requires that agencies develop a plan to implement a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). While the ZTMM is specifically tailored for federal agencies as required by EO 14028, all organizations should review and consider adoption of the approaches outlined in this document.
