Zero Trust Phase 3

Background

The project's purpose is to continue to determine the impact Zero Trust initiatives have currently on federal agencies and start planning for future engagements. The Zero Trust project has been a phased approach, this being the third phase in the overall assessment of the impact of zero trust to federal agencies.

Overall Project Objective and Mission

The purpose of this project is to continue to increase knowledge of zero trust and provide greater understanding to the purpose across the Federal Government. This will include mapping out capabilities and tools that will assist in the transition to a zero trust infrastructure approach. This will be a three-part project that runs in parallel of each other:

Part 1: Playbook for Use Cases
- This will be a built based on the playbook for cloud that DISA has provided.
Part 2: Method for evaluating vendor products and how they can be beneficial in a zero trust infrastructure environment.
Part 3: Cross walk between the various federal cyber frameworks. This is important to ensure federal agencies understand and use the same terminology when it comes to zero trust and how to implement it.

Deliverables:

Part 1: Playbook for Use Cases
Part 2: Methodology for Evaluating Vendor Products
Part 3: Whitepaper (Cross walk between the various Federal Cyber Frameworks)
