The Lnav Zero Trust Maturity Model

Zero Trust is not a single tool. It’s a progression. The Lnav model defines clear stages, from ad-hoc policies to fully automated, continuous verification. It gives teams a path to evolve security without guessing.

At stage one, identity checks happen at login but trust extends too far inside the network. Stage two brings segmentation—users and services are isolated unless explicitly allowed to talk. Stage three enforces policy at every request, using strong authentication and cryptographic validation. Stage four reaches full maturity: continuous monitoring, automated threat response, and machine-driven policy updates based on real-time telemetry.

The Lnav Zero Trust Maturity Model integrates with modern observability stacks. Logs, metrics, and traces feed into the control layer, ensuring each access decision reflects the current state of endpoints, workloads, and network paths. This cuts dwell time and blocks lateral movement.

Implementing the model means moving beyond static rules. Access control becomes dynamic, adaptive, and measurable. Policies shift with context. Every connection is suspect until proven safe—no exceptions.

Security leaders use the Lnav model to benchmark progress, identify gaps, and align engineering work with compliance frameworks like NIST and ISO 27001. It replaces vague security postures with quantifiable outcomes.
