Advancing Zero Trust Architecture for U.S. Government Cybersecurity through Collaboration

How We Meet DoD’s Zero Trust requirements - Fill Out The Form to View White Paper
At the 2023 DoDIIS Worldwide event, Randy Resnick (DoD CIO ZTA PMO) and Ben Phelps (ODNI CISO) urged vendors to collaborate and modernize their messaging at industry conferences. They emphasized demonstrating clear paths to Zero Trust, naming integration partners, and working with competitors to simplify and deliver Zero Trust solutions. The overarching message was clear: prioritize the mission above all else.

In response, The Technology Advancement Center (TAC), Crowdstrike, Vectra, Elastic, and Gigamon came together to develop and deliver a Zero Trust proof of concept to meet the government’s request and accelerate progress toward Zero Trust milestones.

Value Alone
Exponential Results Together

The Technology Advancement Center (TAC), a non-profit, acts as the central facilitator and impartial evaluator, ensuring a vendor-agnostic approach. TAC enables the integration of technologies from CrowdStrike, Elastic, Gigamon, and Vectra to meet DoD’s Zero Trust Architecture requirements, fostering collaboration for a coordinated demonstration of necessary capabilities.

TAC

Elastic is a critical platform for enabling successful Zero Trust operations, offering a highly scalable, distributed data solution capable of handling the volumes and speeds necessary for a DoD Zero Trust implementation. As a market-leading vector database, Elastic excels in combining semantic search modalities (such as natural language processing (NLP), named entity recognition (NER), and classification) with traditional lexical search, aggregation, and filtering operations. 

ELASTIC

Vectra delivers AI and machine learning-based behavioral cyber detection, intra-container adversarial protection, and full GovCloud monitoring, targeting network attackers, identity threats, and cloud control planes—crucial components for fulfilling many Zero Trust activities. Although many solutions claim to utilize AI, Vectra stands apart with over 150 purpose-built supervised and unsupervised AI/ML models developed by a team of dedicated data scientists and security researchers

VECTRA AI

In line with Zero Trust’s “never trust, always verify” philosophy, Gigamon generates network-derived application metadata, allowing continuous verification of all network activity. With a proven track record in the U.S. Government, Gigamon provides foundational services, from basic tap and aggregation to advanced GovCloud visibility and intra-container analysis, supporting numerous Zero Trust Architecture activities

GIGAMON

As a leader in Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) and critical threat intelligence for the U.S. Government, CrowdStrike plays a key role in enabling a comprehensive Zero Trust Architecture. Our next-generation anti-malware capabilities leverage machine learning and artificial intelligence to prevent sophisticated attacks, even when endpoints are offline, by detecting known and zero-day malware.
