    The new phone book is here!

    Would love to know everyone's thoughts on differences from V 1.0

    Thanks for sharing Alex.  Glad to see that the paper's ZT focus starts with the idea that a network perimeter is viewed as potentially vulnerable or already compromised, and that each "each user, device, application, and transaction must be continually verified" .  And glad to see that there is acknowledgement of a holistic approach to securing the network by performing authentication, identity validation and authorization across each subsystem traversed by a communication. Good to see that NISTSP 800 207 is taken as the reference work.  I've found the  High-Level Zero Trust Maturity Model Overview a very useful matrix for evaluating cybersecurity maturity - useful because it can be applied at both the macro and micro level.  This sits well with a service-oriented view, and breaks down the artificial distinction between IT and OT - because to my simple mind there is none.  All systems require networking, hosting infrastructure, software and OS platforms, software services, event handling, computing devices and data.  Yes I agree that the road to cybersecurity maturity across the enterprise landscape is challenging. However this paper makes good philosophical and practical guidance, particularly the updated H-L ZTMMO.  Best Nya
