As the information infrastructure expands with new technologies and locations, zero trust allows organizations to focus on protecting the data, regardless of where it is sourced or how it is used.
Now the U.S. Air Force has adopted zero trust to improve and protect its flightline.
An important aspect of the new process is consequently the secure transfer of data into and out of the aircraft using the Xage zero trust fabric, ensuring both the confidentiality and integrity of that data.
"What we're doing is Integrating with the Air Force to allow a digitized app to replace the paper with an online list of what needs to be done in the workflow, while allowing comments and photos to be added as the work is done." The results can then be collected and transferred with zero trust to the central computers.
A key principle of zero trust is the least amount of trust for the least period of time.
The new zero trust model is being implemented first at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.
