Zero Trust Overview and Playbook Introduction: Guidance for business, security, and technology leaders and practitioners

From the Preface:

This is the first book in a series that makes the complex topic of cybersecurity as simple, clear, and actionable as possible (and hopefully a little more fun too).

People today face overwhelming complexity while trying to protect business assets from cybersecurity attacks in today’s continuously changing world.

Zero Trust enables business, technical, and security teams to work together to reduce risk in the face of continuously evolving attackers and threats, business models, cloud technology platforms, artificial intelligence (AI) innovations, and more.

The Zero Trust Playbook Series helps demystify cybersecurity and Zero Trust by breaking them down into discrete actionable components to guide you through strategy, planning, and execution of a Zero Trust transformation.

Chapter highlights:

Chapter 1: Zero Trust – This is the Way, gets us started by introducing Zero Trust, the Zero Trust Playbook Series, and answering common questions about Zero Trust.

Chapter 4: Standard Zero Trust Capabilities describes the standard Zero Trust capabilities in the Zero Trust Reference Model from The Open Group that are referenced throughout the playbooks. These are the key elements will stay constant as we continuously improve on Zero Trust.

Chapter 5: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Zero Trust teaches us about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how this technology is disrupting business, technology, security, and society at large. This describes AI's impact, limitations, and relationship to Zero Trust which will be managed through the guidance for each role in the playbooks.
