Advancing Zero Trust Maturity Throughout the Automation and Orchestration Pillar

Release Date: 07/14/2024
Organization: NSA
Content Type: Guidance
Solution Provider Neutrality: Neutral
The security of government and industry information and services is predicated on timely responsiveness to cybersecurity threats. Automation and orchestration can respond to threats much faster than manual methods alone, which may not be fast enough to prevent compromise or damage.

The automation and orchestration pillar is the set of Zero Trust capabilities that automates security actions and reactions based on defined processes and security policies across the enterprise, with a focus on speed and scale. Automation is the use of software to control repetitive tasks, and orchestration is the coordination of IT processes and workflows to ensure proper management of tasks. By implementing and maturing automation and orchestration capabilities, an organization can become much more resilient to ever increasing and increasingly sophisticated cyber intrusion attempts, even partially successful ones.
