Zero Trust is a cybersecurity model that offers protection for CMS systems, employees and beneficiaries through continuous validation at every stage of a digital interaction.
As CMS continues to modernize its systems and practices, the agency is implementing Zero Trust and its strong authentication methods, network segmentation, threat prevention, and “least access” policies to benefit everyone.
