The National Security Agency ( NSA ) is dropping a Cybersecurity Information Sheet ( CSI ) today that spills the beans on how to stop bad guys from moving around in a company ' s network to get at sensitive info and important systems . The CSI , called "Getting Better at Trusting No One in the Network and Environment Pillar , " gives advice on beefing up internal network control and limiting network breaches to just a small part of the network using Zero Trust principles . Rob Joyce , the NSA ' s Cybersecurity Director , said , "Companies need to understand that threats can be lurking within their systems . This advice is meant to give network owners and operators the tools they need to stay alert and fight back against threats that try to exploit weaknesses in their systems . " The network and environment pillar is one of seven pillars in the Zero Trust framework and it ' s all about keeping important stuff away from unauthorized access by controlling network access , managing data flows , segmenting applications and workloads , and using encryption . The CSI explains the important features of the network and environment pillar , like mapping data flows and using software defined networking . The NSA is helping Department of Defense customers test out Zero Trust systems and they ' re working on more guidance for incorporating Zero Trust principles into enterprise networks . This new advice builds on previous CSIs from the NSA , like "Getting on Board with a Zero Trust Security Model" and "Getting Better at Trusting No One in the User Pillar" and "Getting Better at Trusting No One in the Device Pillar . " You can read the full report here . Check out our full library for more cybersecurity info and technical guidance .
