Zscaler Enables CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model 2.0

Introduction

Zscaler enables Agencies to advance their Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)’s Zero Trust Maturity Model (ZTMM) 2.0 strategy by providing robust products and features that support the five core pillars of Zero Trust and cross cutting capabilities.  This alignment helps organizations move towards a higher level of maturity in their zero trust adoption journey while adhering to the guidance provided by CISA. 

Using Zscaler’s Zero Trust Exchange to implement CISA ZTMM 2.0

Zscaler enforces a least-privileged access model by integrating with identity providers (IdPs) to validate users and devices before granting access to applications ensuring secure access based on robust authentication and contextual policies.

Zscaler's Zero Trust Exchange platform implements application-specific tunneling, ensuring users can only access designated applications while emphasizing microsegmentation and secure access policies at the application level.

Zscaler provides secure, direct access for users regardless of location through its cloud native infrastructure. Continuous monitoring of user behavior, device posture, and contextual risk ensures adaptive, dynamic trust decisions.

With real-time data protection through capabilities like Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Zscaler ensures sensitive data is protected from unauthorized access or exfiltration in compliance with zero trust principles.

Zscaler provides centralized visibility and telemetry through its policy enforcement engine and enables organizations to continuously evolve their security postures by analyzing user, app, and network activity data against baseline behaviors and policies.
