The security industry has gained millions of households due to the explosion of DIY offerings and COVID-19. Households sought stability and safety during COVID and were able to find low-cost solutions. In 2022 though, home security system adoption slowed with home security ownership dropping from 2021 levels. The industry’s top players, however, are achieving record revenue in 2022 and that shows no signs of slowing. The rebound of professional installation since 2020 and recent solar system and service offerings have generated robust revenue growth.

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.
