Zero Trust Phase 3

Downloads

Abstract

The Zero Trust Phase 3 project represents a collaborative effort between government and industry participants under the Cybersecurity Community of Interest (COI). This phase focused on creating practical frameworks and reference materials to support agencies and organizations in implementing and assessing Zero Trust capabilities. The resulting five deliverables – two white papers and three supporting artifacts – advance the collective understanding and application of Zero Trust across diverse operational contexts.

The deliverables are organized into three parts, as described below.

Part 1

These documents are playbooks of Zero Trust use cases—covering IoT and OT environments, leveraging TIC 3.0, and guiding facility transitions for small businesses and federal agencies.

  • Implementing Zero Trust for Internet of Things and Operational Technologies (White Paper)
  • Leveraging TIC 3.0 Use Cases (Supporting Artifact)
  • Facilitating Zero Trust Transition for Small Businesses and Federal Agencies (Supporting Artifact)

Part 2

  • Zero Trust Product Evaluation Framework (Supporting Artifact – Excel)

Part 3
