Course Outline

Introduction to Zero Trust Architecture for Government

  • Overview of Zero Trust principles and their relevance to modern security models for government
  • Key differences between traditional and Zero Trust architectures in the public sector
  • Core concepts: least-privilege, continuous verification, and identity-based access in government environments

Designing a Zero Trust Network for Government

  • Segmenting the network for granular access control to enhance security for government operations
  • Designing policies for resource and application protection within government systems
  • Design considerations for scalable and secure networks tailored for government use

Identity and Access Management (IAM) in Zero Trust for Government

  • Implementing strong authentication mechanisms (MFA, biometrics) to secure government data and systems
  • Federation and Single Sign-On (SSO) in Zero Trust environments for seamless access to government resources
  • Role-based access control (RBAC) and attribute-based access control (ABAC) for precise authorization in government agencies

Zero Trust Policy Enforcement for Government

  • Enforcing policies at the network, application, and data levels to protect government assets
  • Continuous monitoring and real-time threat detection to safeguard government information
  • Automating policy enforcement through security tools to enhance efficiency in government operations

Integrating Zero Trust with Cloud and Hybrid Environments for Government

  • Adapting Zero Trust for cloud-native and hybrid infrastructures used by government entities
  • Leveraging cloud security tools (AWS IAM, Azure AD) to implement Zero Trust in government systems
  • Designing Zero Trust for multi-cloud environments to ensure consistent security across government platforms

Zero Trust Security for Endpoints for Government

  • Securing endpoints through device authentication and posture assessment for government devices
  • Implementing endpoint detection and response (EDR) within a Zero Trust framework to protect government assets
  • Managing BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and IoT devices in a Zero Trust model to enhance security for government operations

Risk Assessment and Mitigation in Zero Trust Architecture for Government

  • Evaluating risks associated with traditional network perimeter security in government environments
  • Mitigating insider threats and lateral movement within the context of Zero Trust for government agencies
  • Best practices for vulnerability management and remediation to strengthen government cybersecurity

Case Studies and Real-World Examples for Government

  • Lessons learned from Zero Trust implementations across various industries, including government sectors
  • Analyzing successful and failed Zero Trust strategies in the context of government operations
