The Zero Trust Framework
The Cybersecurity landscape is a daunting one today. It is nothing like it was 10 years ago. Now, it has become very complex, covert, dynamic, and stealthy. It has literally become a cat and mouse game, in which the Cyberattacker is still one step ahead. This is despite all of the technology that is available to us a society, which includes Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning. Part of the other problem is that human beings are resistant to change. For example, the password is still the favored way of authenticating and authorizing an individual, but it too has shown its grave limitations. Despite the use of Password Managers, which can create long and complex passwords, people still resort to their old fashioned ways of doing things. So what is needed now is an extreme change, in which, unfortunately, people have no choice in whether or not they will participate. It is called the Zero Trust Framework, and in this methodology, absolutely nobody can be trusted in either the internal or the external environments. The mantra here is to keep verifying everybody, all the time. The Zero Trust Framework also involves the concept of segmentation, in which the IT and Network Infrastructure of a business is broken down into smaller components, much like a Subnet. Each component will have its own layer of security, and every individual must be authenticated via the use of Multifactor Authentication (MFA). In this book, we review both the concepts and mechanics behind the Zero Trust Framework. We also introduce advanced technologies into it, including the use of Biometrics, the Public Key Infrastructure, and Quantum Mechanics/Quantum Cryptography.
Deploying the Zero Trust Framework in MSFT Azure
The Cloud is fast becoming the de facto standard for businesses in Corporate America today, with Microsoft Azure being one of the most widely used systems. However, given its stature, it has also become a prime target for the cyberattacker. Thus, a Zero Trust Framework is strongly needed. Deploying the Zero Trust Framework in MSFT Azure takes a closer look at the Cloud, the Zero Trust Framework, and how to deploy from both the technical and psychological perspectives.

Many of the security counter measures being leveraged by businesses today simply address the past (trust then verify). These tools advise and protect when issues are detected, then the problems can be addressed. There is often a time lag from identification, addressing the issues, and resolving the actual issues. To understand the overall state of security in an organization there are a considerable number of tools required. For the most part, each of these tools have an application agent to be deployed. The result is often a “one of everything” approach. Zero Trust is a framework not a solution. Zero Trust is a part of an ongoing continuous process improvement plan, and should evolve with the times to deliver true security to an organization. The common thread is the ability to identify known vectors of end user satisfaction or organizational risk to address issues. The comment about “known” vectors is the key - security counter measures can only respond to what is known and understood at a particular moment in time. Risk is a very straightforward concept. Risk is either real or not. Closed Loop Lifecycle Planning© in its research called The Risk Cycle© concluded that risk does not have a “gray” area - something is either a risk or not. Our book has challenged the assumption that there is such a thing as “reasonable risk”. The theory of reasonable risk is that businesses and organizations make a conscious decision that a risk is reasonable to take, and then accepts the exposure. Zero Trust would argue that the approach itself is not reasonable.
