Zero Trust has moved from strategy decks to mandates. The US federal government has ordered it, the Department of Defense has committed to it by 2027, and CMMC assessments are arriving in defense contracts. Meanwhile the adversary has adopted AI, identity has become the most attacked surface in the enterprise, and software agents now hold credentials and take actions at machine speed. The question is no longer whether to begin the Zero Trust journey. It is how to finish it.
This fully revised second edition of The CISO Guide to Zero Trust Security answers that question, domain by domain, with the practical, implementation-level guidance the first edition became known for, now brought current for the AI era.
New and expanded in this edition: a rebuilt AI Security chapter covering generative AI, prompt injection, agentic AI, and multi-agent systems, including the Generative Guardrail Network architecture this book proposed before the industry built it; expanded coverage of phishing-resistant MFA, passkeys, identity threat detection, non-human identity, and workload identity federation; cryptographic guidance updated to the finalized NIST post-quantum standards; an entirely new chapter mapping Zero Trust to CMMC for the Defense Industrial Base; and refreshed treatment of ZTNA, DSPM, cloud entitlements, supply chain concentration risk, deepfake-era fraud, and the mandatory incident reporting era, with new figures throughout.
Written by a career CISO, this book covers sixteen security domains, from network, data, device, application, email, and cloud to API, AI, OT/IoT, machine, human, and third-party security, each with concrete controls, hard-won pitfalls, and a candid CISO Take. It is written for the security engineers, architects, risk managers, compliance analysts, students, and security leaders who have to make Zero Trust real.
Don't trust. Verify. This book shows you how.
