Zero trust computing through the application of information asset registers

Abstract

It is proposed that information asset registers are a key enabler towards the implementation of zero trust computing (ZTC), which requires a detailed knowledge of the information being processed and especially a detailed, well-documented knowledge of the network and technical infrastructure in order to support a zero-trust environment. ZTC also requires detailed documentation to facilitate operational cyber resilience. Asset registers are a key resource to speed up incident response and recovery. Information asset registers are part of the information management, assurance and governance (IMAG) approach. It is proposed the information asset database is at the heart of the information assurance and ZTC ecosystem. This fact has been partially recognised through the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) configuration management database (CMDB). We also explore issues related to hybrid infrastructures.
