At first glance, the idea of ZT + IoT might seem incompatible, however, these innately untrusted, presumably insecure IoT devices are the perfect use case for why Zero Trust architectures are important for enterprise security.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/09\/28\/politics\/senators-introduce-cyber-reporting-bill\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b><span class=\"body-subhead-title\">Senators Introduce Cyber Bill to Mandate Reporting on Ransomware and Critical Infrastructure Attacks<\/span><\/b><\/a><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p>If enacted, the bill will create the first national requirement for critical infrastructure entities to report when their systems have been breached.
