Summary

In this chapter, we learned about the role-based approach of the playbooks in the Zero Trust Playbook Series. We reviewed why the role-based approach is important, an illustrative list of roles that are involved and affected, what guidance is provided for each role in the playbook, and how Acme Bank is making it real by planning its top priorities.

Each of the role-specific playbooks in the series is built on this foundational framework and goes much deeper—providing role-specific instructions to guide implementation through each playbook stage. Each playbook shows how to apply Zero Trust principles and reference models to each role and to different industries and organizations via the Acme examples.
