Ep 71 - A New Multi-Domain Approach to Zero Trust for Government

Author: Government Technology Insider December 14, 2023 Duration: 13:19

Although the Executive Order on Cybersecurity, which set Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) as the foundation of federal agency security, is only a year old there are already new developments in ZTA. The new multi-domain approach to Zero Trust is redefining the standard for how users on the network should be handled by creating a single source of truth.

ZTA assumes no implicit trust is granted to any users on the network, and it must be intrinsic throughout the entire agency’s IT environment. ZTA also requires that agencies create a central policy over their infrastructure and develop a unified security posture over everything in their network. However, the multi-domain approach with its “single source of truth” necessitates the unification of all of the legacy and independent policy control points that were traditionally spread out through different environments into a central pane of glass.

These were the key insights of a recent Government Technology Insider podcast interview with Jeff Fossett, a Principal Architect at CTG Federal, who explained the benefit of creating this central pane of glass for policies with a multi-domain approach.


Ever wonder what really happens when a new software platform gets rolled out across a state agency, or how a city decides which cloud provider to trust with its data? The Government Technology Insider Podcast pulls back the curtain on those exact processes. This isn't about theoretical futures; it's a grounded look at the actual work of modernizing public sector systems. Each conversation goes straight to the source, featuring the people who are navigating procurement, implementing security protocols, and managing the day-to-day realities of tech adoption within government frameworks. You'll hear firsthand accounts about the strategic choices that succeed, the unexpected hurdles that arise, and the practical solutions that make a difference. The discussions are candid and detailed, focusing less on hype and more on the tangible lessons learned from recent projects and initiatives. For anyone curious about the real intersection of civic duty and digital innovation, this podcast provides an essential, on-the-ground perspective. Tune in for a clear-eyed view of how technology is being woven into the fabric of government missions, one challenge and one victory at a time.
