The Federal Zero Trust Strategy requires organizations to complete three Identity pillar actions by September 30, 2024. Leaders must work to centralize enterprise-wide identity, leverage strong MFA throughout their enterprise and integrate user authorization with device risk signals. With months to go until this critical deadline, how are agencies tracking toward success? What are the barriers to implementing the identity pillars? And how do these identity pillars support a robust Zero Trust Architecture?
