"Zero Trust Becoming Cyber Strategy of Choice Across Defense Department"

Several agencies with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) are building a  zero-trust architecture. This architecture secures IT systems by treating all users as potential threats.

According to Brandon Iske, the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Security Enablers Portfolio Chief Engineer, the Nationational Security Agency (NSA), DISA, U.S. Cyber Command, and the DoD Office of the CIO are working together on a zero-trust pilot. COVID-19 is one driving factor behind the increased adoption of zero-trust as a cyber strategy. This article continues to discuss how component agencies are embracing zero-trust.
