Peraton’s Jeff Berlet participated in a session titled “Meeting Zero Trust Requirements in the Cloud.”
One of the government’s biggest cyber initiatives is the requirement to incorporate Zero Trust (ZT) architecture as a baseline security measure. Executive Order 14028, Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity, states that we must “advance toward Zero Trust Architecture… to protect and secure its computer systems, whether they are cloud-based, on-premises, or hybrid.” Simultaneously, the General Services Administration’s Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) expects cloud providers to meet this requirement; as federal agencies modernize and adopt cloud solutions, they are mandated to use FedRAMP authorized Cloud Service Offerings (CSO for any public cloud delivered service. Our panel of government and industry experts will discuss the role of ZT in meeting multi-cloud security requirements.
