Device Pillar – DoW ZT Reference Architecture
The Device Pillar focuses on securing and managing all devices that interact with enterprise resources. It emphasizes continuous, real-time authentication, inspection, and assessment to ensure devices are trustworthy before granting access. Tools like Mobile Device Management (MDM), Comply to Connect (C2C), and Trusted Platform Modules (TPM) help evaluate device posture and enforce access controls.
Every access request should trigger a device-level check, examining factors such as compromise status, software versions, security protections, encryption settings, and configuration integrity. A Zero Trust (ZT) approach requires the ability to identify, authenticate, inventory, authorize, isolate, secure, remediate, and control all devices across the environment.
