Everything You Need To Know About NIST's New Guidance In 'SP 1800-35: Implementing A Zero Trust Architecture'
Cloudflare, Thursday, June 19th, 2025
For decades, the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been guiding industry efforts through the many publications in its Computer Security Resource Center.
NIST has played an especially important role in the adoption of Zero Trust architecture, through its series of publications that began with NIST SP 800-207: Zero Trust Architecture, released in 2020.
NIST has released another Special Publication in this series, SP 1800-35, titled "Implementing a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA)" which aims to provide practical steps and best practices for deploying ZTA across various environments. NIST's publications about ZTA have been extremely influential across the industry, but are often lengthy and highly detailed, so this blog provides a short and easier-to-read summary of NIST's latest guidance on ZTA.
