Pentagon's Review of Zero-Trust Blueprints and Cyber Threat Cooperation

The Pentagon will review plans to implement zero-trust measures across the military as cybersecurity officials aim for a 2027 deadline. The services and defense organizations will submit their blueprints in the coming weeks, with evaluations scheduled to take place soon after. The push for enhanced digital defenses comes as the U.S. prepares for potential cyber conflicts with Russia and China. The Pentagon's zero-trust strategy, published in November, outlines the activities and capabilities required to achieve targeted zero trust by 2027. Different organizations are expected to take different approaches, but with the same goal in mind.
