Today’s cybersecurity and IT teams within the U.S. government must grapple with how to align flexible work models with the continued protection of the nation’s missions.

How to Enable Delegated Administration in the Context of Zero Trust
Despite agencies’ continued efforts to align their security plans and Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA)—something required per the Federal Government’s memo M-22-09—we have seen less progress in the execution of those strategies. This particularly holds true for large, centralized tenants that combine previously segregated departments and offices.
Security teams would like to implement a least-privileged model to meet ZTA standards, but due to agency consolidation, they can either grant each entity access to the entire tenant or lockdown admin rights, burdening IT with managing every aspect of every department.
Sounds like a lose-lose situation – but in this post we discuss a third option: how delegated administration can help you align to ZTA without adding more work to IT teams.
