The National Institute of Standards and Technology wants feedback on its definition of zero trust security architecture and potential deployments — outlined in a draft special publication released Monday.

Zero trust refers to the narrowing of cyberdefenses from wide network perimeters to micro-perimeters around individual or small groups of resources, NIST says in the new guidance.
No implicit trust is given to systems based on their location, and user and device authentication is required prior to establishing a connection. This is particularly important as more employees work remotely and data is migrated to the cloud.

“[M]any organizations already have elements of a ZTA in their enterprise infrastructure today,” reads the document. “Organizations should seek to incrementally implement zero trust principles, process changes, and technology solutions that protect its data assets and business functions.”
In addition to providing a ZTA roadmap, the document highlights a number of use cases including agencies with satellite facilities, multi-cloud environments and contracted services.
