Thwarting the Adversary: Bending the Zero Trust Curve to Defense
summary
Federal agencies commit to a three‑year zero‑trust implementation tied to a capability maturity model and measurable proxies: rollout of phishing‑resistant MFA, EDR coverage, and faster remediation of CISA’s known‑exploited vulnerabilities. The government counts over a hundred agencies, cites about $5.5 billion tagged to zero‑trust buys, and requires a CEO attestation from software vendors selling to the federal estate. National labs run testbeds and microgrid experiments after reporting 10,000 attacks per month internally to validate tools and operations.
