Ivanti announced that it has been selected by the National Institute of Standards and Technology's National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence to participate as a collaborator in the Implementing A Zero Trust Architecture project.

The goal of the project is to build zero trust security architectures to help organizations mitigate cybersecurity risk.

President Biden recently signed an Executive Order, making zero trust a top priority for modernizing U.S. federal government cybersecurity and requiring federal agencies to quickly develop plans to implement Zero Trust Architectures.

As a collaborator, Ivanti will help develop practical, interoperable approaches to designing and building Zero Trust architectures that align with the tenets and principles documented in NIST SP 800-207, Zero Trust Architecture.

As part of this collaboration, the NCCoE will compose and release a publicly available NIST Cybersecurity Practice Guide, which will include several zero trust cybersecurity reference designs that address a variety of real world cybersecurity and infrastructure challenges.

"That transformation needs to be grounded in zero trust principles and should be focused on cybersecurity modernization. The problem today is that zero trust approaches to security have been fragmented, inconsistent, and difficult to implement, resulting in slow adoption that only exacerbates an already precarious situation. As a leader in providing solutions that accelerate zero trust adoption, we are pleased to be part of this cohort, along with NIST. We look forward to developing example zero trust implementations that will shape a new era of cybersecurity best practices designed to mitigate risk."
