Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA)
Abstract
The ZTA project supports the effort to create a Zero Trust Commercial Cloud Lab (ZTCCL). The ZTCCL is an environment to provide an integration space to develop, test, and mature concepts, capabilities, and technology to benefit the DoD Information Network (DoDIN). These concepts, capabilities, and technologies will increase the DoDIN’s ability to prevent, detect, respond, and recover from malicious cyber activities while proving scalability to enterprise levels. The ZTCCL will: • Provide a test and development environment to test ZT capabilities within a cloud lab environment. • Provide automations for customer research and development with an activity template to include standard IT domain builds, three tiered applications that improve scalability and availability, and "Gold images" that provide a consistent system baseline for common Operating Systems deployments. The ZT project stemmed from a FY 2018 initial Zero Trust Reference Architecture effort with US Cyber Command, NSA, and DoD-CIO.
