What are the first steps an organization should take when transitioning to a zero trust architecture?
When transitioning to a zero trust architecture, organizations should consider the following first steps:
1. Identify and map all assets and resources within the organization.
2. Define and classify data based on sensitivity and importance.
3. Implement strong authentication methods such as multi-factor authentication.
4. Apply the principle of least privilege to restrict access to only what is necessary.
5. Segment networks to reduce the scope of potential attacks.
6. Monitor all network traffic for anomalies and suspicious activities.
7. Implement encryption for data at rest and in transit.
8. Establish strict access controls and policies.
9. Educate employees on zero trust principles and best practices.
10. Regularly test and audit the zero trust architecture for vulnerabilities and compliance.
