    The Cloud Security Alliance is excited about launching a refocused Zero Trust Working Group in collaboration with a number of recognized industry experts.  This working group aims to help develop and socialize Zero Trust standards and guidance for secure cloud, hybrid and mobile endpoint environments. This group will have the distinct nine workstreams that address specific aspects of an end-to-end ZT architecture and implementation.

      

    The Zero Trust Working Group's kick-off meeting was held on August 18, 2022. We discussed plans for the working group and the various workstreams we'll be spinning up to address the broad scope of Zero Trust. Participating is a great way to meet industry peers and experts who are also focused on developing and discussing zero-trust strategies, architecture and implementation guidance. Meeting Recording:   https://cloudsecurityalliance.zoom.us/rec/share/M0KeaL3HmHuy4BHUaQzHmgijfIJnK4pc3ZfiS34hQRyIsbWQPFQ7Zv__Fj6pY9oO.lFMzqGYBIa8k_pGX

    After you've signed up to join the working group you can volunteer for specific workstreams and express interest in leadership roles by emailing [email protected]. (We're working on a more sophisticated signup page that will enable workstream and role election at signup time but it's not yet available.)

     

    *FYI for Identity Pillar SMEs: The ZT-related Identity and Access Management (IAM) working group has their next meeting on September 1st at 11am PDT (IAM Workgroup Meeting Zoom Link). Anyone interested in the Identity Pillar workstream for Zero Trust should consider joining the IAM working group as well, as it will collaboratively explore the topic even further.
