Defense Innovation Board: Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) Recommendations

Based on existing Department of Defense (DoD) network vulnerabilities and future network requirements, the Defense Innovation Board (DIB) recommends that DoD begin moving toward a zero trust security architecture model for the Non-classified Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNet) and the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet). While zero trust implementation will be an iterative process across various DoD networks, all DoD zero trust efforts should strive toward the following network ecosystem end state.
