FORT MEADE, Md. – The National Security Agency (NSA) is releasing the Cybersecurity Information Sheet (CSI) “Advancing Zero Trust Maturity Throughout the Automation and Orchestration Pillar” to help organizations better detect cyber threats and respond to common threats faster.

This report – the final CSI published by NSA in a series addressing the seven pillars of DoD’s Zero Trust (ZT) framework – also provides recommendations for automating routine tasks to better focus resources on investigating anomalies associated with advanced tactics, techniques, and procedures.

In 2021, the President of the United States directed the federal government to advance toward the development and implementation of a Zero Trust framework.
