Mapping Delinea Identity Security to DoD Zero Trust Capability Execution Roadmap

This whitepaper outlines the DoD Zero Trust Capability Execution Roadmap, which addresses various challenges within the Department of Defense's IT infrastructure. It emphasizes the need for continuous user access verification and reduced inherent trust to enhance security. The roadmap aims to standardize cybersecurity practices across the diverse departments of the DoD, thus minimizing vulnerabilities and attack surfaces. It also focuses on mitigating risks associated with legacy IT systems by implementing stricter access controls. The document details how Zero Trust principles can help manage data breaches and insider threats through granular access and continuous monitoring. Furthermore, it describes the phased approach of the roadmap, targeting a baseline level of Zero Trust by 2027 and an advanced state by 2032. The whitepaper highlights the capabilities necessary for a Zero Trust system, allowing flexibility for different DoD branches to adapt the approach to their needs. Additionally, it mentions resources provided by the DoD to aid in the implementation of these capabilities.
