ZT maturity named. $ZT_LAB. Original Cyberlium.

Opening

Maturity models score pillars — place LAB-ZT-001 honestly per pillar: traditional, initial, advanced, optimal literacy bands.

CISA ZTMM: Identity, Devices, Networks, Apps & Workloads, Data, Visibility & Analytics, Automation & Orchestration pillars with maturity stages literacy. NIST CSF tiers cross-reference optional. Assessment stub: pillar | current stage | target stage | gap note — fictional honest scores, not all optimal. Next: KPIs Metrics.

1. Maturity stages (named)

Traditional: manual, perimeter-heavy. Initial: some automation. Advanced: integrated signals. Optimal: fully dynamic least privilege literacy.

Honest current state beats aspirational all-optimal slide fiction.

# ZT Maturity Assessment — LAB-ZT-001 (honest fictional)
| Pillar | Current | Target | Gap note |
|--------|---------|--------|----------|
| Identity | Initial | Advanced | CA policies partial |
| Devices | Traditional | Advanced | MDM not 100% |
| Networks | Initial | Advanced | ZTNA pilot only |
| Apps & Workloads | Initial | Advanced | Legacy ERP on VPN |
| Data | Traditional | Advanced | Labels incomplete |
| Visibility & Analytics | Initial | Advanced | SIEM tuning |
| Automation | Traditional | Initial | Manual policy changes |
Stages: Traditional → Initial → Advanced → Optimal (CISA ZTMM literacy)

Primary tools to practice this lesson: curl, grep. Reference sites: CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model (https://www.cisa.gov/zero-trust-maturity-model); NIST SP 800-207 (https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-207/final). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.

2. CISA pillar map

Map Topic 40 modules to CISA pillars for assessment row labels.

Cross-walk to YOUR pillar packs as evidence references.

3. Assessment stub

Seven pillar rows with current/target stage and one gap sentence each.

Ship: maturity assessment stub. Next: KPIs Metrics.

4. What you ship: maturity assessment stub

Seven pillars with current/target stages and gap notes. Honest scores. chmod 600.

5. What you record before the next lesson

Date. Maturity stub. $ZT_LAB named. File t40-m09-l02-maturity-named.txt chmod 600.

6. Wrong vs right: bypass cookbooks vs YOUR ZT design

Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.

  • Wrong

    Mark every pillar Optimal in lab. Claim CISA certified your fictional org.

  • Right

    Write honest maturity assessment with two Traditional/Initial rows. Next: KPIs Metrics.

Mission: maturity assessment

1) Name four maturity stages. 2) Score seven pillars current vs target. 3) One gap note per pillar. 4) chmod 600.
