"DoD Releases Zero Trust Strategy and Roadmap"

The Defense Department (DoD) has published its Zero Trust Strategy and Roadmap. Cyber threats and attacks have driven the need to adopt a zero trust strategy that goes beyond traditional perimeter defense. By FY27, the DoD intends to implement specific zero trust capabilities and activities outlined in the strategy and associated roadmap. The strategy foresees a DoD Information Enterprise protected by a fully implemented, department-wide zero trust cybersecurity framework that reduces the attack surface, enables risk management and effective data-sharing in partnership environments, and quickly detects and remediates adversary activity. The strategy outlines four high-level and integrated strategic goals that define what the department will do to realize its zero trust vision. All DoD personnel must be aware of, understand, and commit to a Zero Trust mindset and culture, as well as support its integration. Zero trust must be incorporated and operationalized in both new and legacy systems. Technologies must be deployed at a rate that matches or exceeds industry advancements. Processes, policies, and funding at the department and component levels should be aligned with zero trust principles and approaches. This article continues to discuss the DoD Zero Trust Strategy and Roadmap.
