Summary

In this chapter, we examined three key success factors to help avoid common causes of failures—having a clear strategy, security mindsets and cultural shifts, and human empathy. These help you avoid common antipatterns (common mistakes) seen in Zero Trust and other technology initiatives. Each playbook includes specific antipatterns to avoid—for business leaders, technical leaders, architects, and technical managers, and for IT and security practitioners.

Next up, in Chapter 8, Adoption with the Three-Pillar Model, we will describe how the three-pillar model helps you meet these success factors.
