Skipping the Zero Trust Operationalize step can lead to serious disruptions and long-term inefficiencies. Without properly mapping the organization, hidden gaps may emerge, causing internal resistance, resource shortages, and accountability issues. A lack of organizational adjustments to modern Zero Trust infrastructure can result in fragmented support, inconsistent budgeting, and unclear responsibilities, making operations unsustainable. An improper handover creates confusion, support challenges, and knowledge gaps, leading to inefficiencies and security risks. Lastly, without a culture of continuous improvement, the Zero Trust strategy can stagnate, becoming outdated and ineffective against evolving threats.
