The era of perimeter-based security strategy has ended. Zero trust offers a compelling template for:
- Rationalizing controls, investments, and activities.
- Aligning capabilities with the most urgent priorities.
- Enabling CISOs to establish cybersecurity as a source of competitive advantage.
However, the ZT path is complex. CISOs will need to prioritize across many different demands, building a roadmap that spans the breadth of the organization and extends across multiple years. The growing body of research into ZT—including Stratascale’s Executive Guide to Zero Trust and related material—will help security leaders accelerate the journey and ensure that they identify both requirements and opportunities to build the capabilities needed for organizational success in the digital world.
