Introduction

On January 26 , 2022 , the Office of Management and Budget issued a memo titled , Moving the U . S . Government Toward Zero Trust Cybersecurity Principles , articulating a major change in the federal government ’ s cybersecurity posture . By September 2024 , all government agencies and any organizations doing business with government agencies must implement or have made significant progress toward implementing zero trust architecture .

It ’ s very clear that the need to upgrade the government ’ s cybersecurity posture is pressing . After all , the federal government wouldn ’ t undertake such a major technology initiative on a 16-month timeline unless the situation was very serious . And it is . The cyberthreat landscape is increasingly treacherous . As President Biden stated in his executive order , Improving the Nation ’ s Cybersecurity , “ Incremental improvements will not give us the security we need ; instead , the federal government needs to make bold changes and significant investments in order to defend the vital institutions that underpin the American way of life .”

But while the government must take every measure possible to protect infrastructure , national security , and the economy , other organizations in the public and private sectors are facing the same threats and must act accordingly . It ’ s understandable that zero trust concepts may not feel clear-cut , even to tech-savvy business and public sector leaders . The term is relatively new , and its rapid rise to buzzword status may obscure some of the key ideas involved .

What exactly is zero trust architecture ? How should organizations consider implementing it ? What are its implications for organizations ’ broader cybersecurity infrastructure ? How can they conduct digital forensic investigations in zero trust environments ? This whitepaper explains these concepts and offers practical advice for digital forensic professionals looking to conduct investigations in zero trust environments .
