Examples; 10 of the 994 standard requirements:

2. How can organizations take up the interesting Zero Trust concept with a granular and phased approach, without having to redesign the entire internal IT and network security?
   
   

3. What is the importance of data backups as ransomware attacks escalate, and how can a Zero Trust strategy protect data backups from malicious encryption and deletion?
   
   

4. How would your organizations security posture benefit if access rights could be modified in near real time to reflect the current trust level of users and devices?
   
   

5. Is there a clear strategy to ensure that access to assets is controlled by policies based on a risk based decision derived from the context of user and device?
   
   

6. Which innovative technologies provide added value and impact to modernizing network infrastructures that will enable a multi domain concept of manoeuvre?
   
   

7. Can systems correlate user activity/behavior data as well as other attributes as location from the cloud to detect anomalies in activity in real time?
   
   

8. Does a solution offer a single interface for performing security tasks, or will analysts be forced to divide the attention among multiple interfaces?
   
   

9. How can businesses strike a balance between the benefits and impacts of new digital innovation, pleasing shareholders and customers at the same time?
   
   

10. Is Zero Trust just a new marketing buzzword, a simple iteration over the well known least privilege mindset, or a truly innovative strategy?
