Improving The Resilience of Government Networks Requires More Than Zero-Trust Policies. Combining zero-trust strategies with AI-assisted observability solutions gives the country its best chance to defend itself. By Willie Hicks, Federal CTO, Dynatrace Nation-state cyberattacks remain top of mind for the U.S. government and federal sector. Though 2022 elapsed without a devastating security breach on par with the SolarWinds or Colonial Pipeline attacks of previous years, the federal government has plenty of concerns. A recent survey conducted in part by the Center for Strategic and International Studies indicated that 86% of organizations believe they’ve been targeted by a nation-state threat actor. President Joe Biden recently shared a memorandum in which he called on federal agencies to make bold changes, significantly invest in cybersecurity, and modernize agency IT systems. Essentially, the president is calling on the government to clean its own house first and lead by example. Cyber Defense eMagazine – February 2023 Edition 102 Copyright © 2023, Cyber Defense Magazine.

A linchpin of Biden’s cyber-defense plan is zero trust — the “Never trust, always verify” security framework generating a lot of attention. For more than a year, Biden has called for the accelerated adoption of secure cloud infrastructure and zero-trust architecture. Zero trust represents an important step forward, but it’s no panacea. Before the federal government sees broad adoption of zero-trust principles, there are several significant challenges to overcome. The time is now for a zero-trust security approach. Zero trust is not a single product, technology. Nor is it a turnkey solution. It’s a methodology. The main principles of zero trust include the following: • Denying access to an organization’s data by default. • Never trust any device by default. • Isolate workloads and data as part of a granular authentication process. Verified users are given access to only the data, applications, and other resources needed to complete their work. While zero trust has been around for over a decade, its popularity has spiked with the rise of hybrid cloud and hyperconnected environments. In a world in which resources sprawl across a massive attack surface, new security practices are necessary. But implementing zero trust can be tricky. Not every federal agency has access to mature security systems or operates computer systems that are compatible with zero-trust services. And not every government agency or entity can allocate the labor and funds necessary to undertake a major technology and operational overhaul. Weighing the challenges of zero-trust implementation Implementing zero trust requires agencies to reorganize and redesign IT infrastructure. Laptops are stolen frequently, for instance. Therefore, if zero trust is to extend to all endpoints, organizations need to secure all devices. This requires patching and securing all hardware assets and could mean issuing completely new devices. Isolating workloads and information via authentication processes is complex. Creating specific access policies for different workloads and resources requires enormous effort. Additionally, these policies typically need continuous updating.
