The Department of Defense Zero Trust Reference Architecture (DoD ZT-RA) serves as a critical framework for the DoD in its mission to safeguard sensitive data, operations, and assetsagainst a variety of cyber threats. Traditional security models often operate on the assumption that anything inside the network is trustworthy. However, with the increasing sophistication of threats – internal and external - this assumption can no longer be allowed. Taking a Zero Trust stance ensures that access is strictly authenticated and continuously monitored, regardless of where it originates.
This brief describes how Pathlock, the leader in application access governance and cybersecurity controls automation, allows DoD stakeholders to implement Zero Trust in alignment with the DoD ZTA-RA via a proven, scalable solution.
