WASHINGTON \u2014 The U.S. Department of Defense on Tuesday unveiled its zero-trust strategy and road map, highlighting how the department plans to shield sensitive information from prying eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The documents detail the more than 100 activities, capabilities and pillars needed to achieve zero trust, a new paradigm for cybersecurity<\/a>. The strategy fits into a larger constellation of security planning that includes the recently released National Defense Strategy, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we compare this to our home security, we can say that we traditionally lock our windows and doors, and that only those with a key can gain access,\u201d Randy Resnick, the director of the zero trust portfolio management office, told reporters Nov. 22. \u201cWith zero trust, we have identified the items of value within the house and we\u2019ve placed guards and locks with each one of those items inside the house, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike older cybersecurity models, zero trust assumes networks are always at risk or are already compromised. As a result, continuous validation of users, devices and access is required. Pentagon Chief Information Officer John Sherman<\/a> has likened it to trusting \u201cno one or no thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t
