Zero trust is a deceptively simple concept that is easy to understand but complicated to successfully execute. Implicit trust is tightly woven into traditional modes of access control. Moving to conditional access will require untangling many threads: identity, devices, networks, applications and workloads, and data.

It takes years for most organizations to put all zero-trust security pieces in place. As a result, it takes significant strategic and tactical planning, strong collaboration with business stakeholders, and a phased implementation to successfully adopt zero-trust best practices.

Here’s what experts say organizations should keep in mind to smoothly navigate the journey to zero trust.

1. Start with a roadmap
2. Conduct a maturity assessment
3. Get buy-in to secure investment
4. Maintain organizational support
5. Use small-scale pilots for quick wins
6. Maintain a thorough inventory
7. Consider data classification and policy engines
