While AWS estimates that 7,500 government agencies use its platform, there is a dearth of resources describing how to use AWS services to implement a NIST-compliant Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). This paper focuses on helping federal agencies and other organizations understand the key components of ZTA, providing an overview of NIST 800–207 guidelines, and mapping AWS services to these components. The detailed mapping and model approach demonstrate how AWS services support the implementation of Zero Trust principles, making it easier for organizations to transition from traditional security models to a Zero Trust framework.
