Summary

In this chapter, we learned about the three pillars of the playbook and how they enable security agility and security integration with the organization’s business and technical priorities and processes. We learned about how the strategic roadmap is formed and the context that goes into it, how the operational pillar implements this roadmap, and how the operating model allows you to monitor and adjust Zero Trust to keep it on track.

Next up is Chapter 9, The Zero Trust Six-Stage Plan, which describes the six-stage approach that resolves the three pillars into specific implementation stages and prescriptive actionable steps to coordinate the overall journey across roles. The role-by-role guidance in the playbook translates these into the language and culture of each role, outlining changes with Zero Trust and what the resulting daily tasks and routine look like for each role.
