Aviatrix CNSF: The Implementation Layer for Zero Trust Workloads
Most zero trust progress over the past five years has focused on users: stronger identity, device posture, SSO, and conditional access. But every major maturity model also demands zero trust outcomes for networks, workloads, and data. That implementation layer has been missing. This whitepaper is for CISOs and security leaders who need to move beyond framework intent and turn NIST, CISA, and MITRE guidance into provable, audit-ready runtime enforcement across multicloud environments.
What's inside the whitepaper
Why identity and device controls stop at login, leaving API-to-API, service-to-database, and east-west cloud traffic running on implicit trust and static IP rules that don't track ephemeral workloads
How Aviatrix CNSF maps directly to NIST SP 800-207's PE, PA, and PEP model, embedding distributed enforcement into the cloud network fabric across AWS, Azure, and GCP without workload agents
How SmartGroups replace IP-based rules with tag-driven, identity-centric policy that follows workloads across accounts, regions, and clouds, eliminating policy drift as environments change
What audit-ready evidence actually looks like: session-level decision logs, encrypted flow coverage, policy traces per connection, and maturity artifacts mapped to CISA ZTMM, NIST CSF, and CSA CCM
A phased path to get started: instrument and encrypt priority workloads first, shift top pathways from IP rules to SmartGroup policies, then automate and publish compliance evidence
