Zero Trust Automation & Orchestration and Visibility & Analytics Overview - Implementing Needed Cross-Cutting Capabilities
Open Until: 04/18/2025
Visibility & Analytics and Automation & Orchestration are foundational, cross-cutting capabilities within the Zero Trust paradigm, enabling continuous monitoring, intelligent decision-making, and automated response. Visibility & Analytics provide real-time insights into activities in the technology environment, helping to detect and resolve security threats, and ensure policy enforcement. When integrated with threat intelligence, behavioral analytics and Context-Based Access Control (CBAC), they enhance anomaly detection and proactive defense.
Automation & Orchestration complement these capabilities by reducing the time lag between threat detection and remediation, ensuring rapid response and minimizing operational disruptions. Additionally, these capabilities support compliance by maintaining comprehensive audit logs, aligning with guidance such as NIST 800-207 and CISA’s Zero Trust Maturity Model. AI-driven analytics further enhance detection accuracy and response efficiency, enabling autonomous security adjustments. By embedding these capabilities, organizations can improve security resilience, optimize operational efficiency, and uphold Zero Trust principles, ensuring a dynamic and adaptive security posture in the face of evolving threats.
