This document is a guide that outlines how government agencies are securing their cloud architecture in response to evolving cybersecurity threats. It discusses the increasing reliance on cloud services by agencies, highlighting the benefits such as improved workflow flexibility and cost-effectiveness. However, it also addresses the challenges posed by the current threat landscape, particularly from state-sponsored actors. The guide emphasizes the importance of implementing zero trust architecture (ZTA) as recommended by the Biden administration’s Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity. It details the obstacles agencies face in maintaining security across diverse cloud environments and the necessity of consistent access control. The document further explains how agencies can deploy tools and technologies to support ZTA, ensuring data protection at all times. Additionally, it introduces the TrustedKeep platform, which facilitates secure data encryption and access management, reinforcing the need for robust security measures as agencies transition to the cloud.
