What is the DoD zero trust capability execution roadmap? link link

The U.S. Department of Defense Zero Trust Capability Execution Roadmap provides a strategic framework for modern security. It is based on the DoD’s Zero Trust Reference Architecture, part of the DoD’s strategy to implement ZT principles into all its digital resources and operations.

The Zero Trust Architecture rests on seven pillars that interconnect and support one another, with each pillar consisting of core capabilities and supporting activities. The central pillar and ultimate goal of any ZT strategy is the protection of organizational Data. The other pillars relate to users, devices, workloads, networks, visibility and analytics, and automation and orchestration.

 

The challenge link link

The DoD zero trust roadmap is built on a highly detailed, seven-pillar reference architecture that mandates a complete reframing of security capabilities . Organizations find this struggle because their existing, non-unified security product stacks cannot easily be mapped to the required hundreds of granular activities and two distinct maturity levels (target and advanced) defined within each pillar. If security teams are forced to manually manage complex, multi-vendor controls against a single, detailed framework, it makes centralized orchestration and protection of organizational data highly difficult.

 

The solution link link

Here’s a brief overview of how Netskope provides a comprehensive platform that directly maps to the seven pillars of the DoD zero trust architecture and the target-level and advanced capabilities of the DoD Zero Trust Roadmap.

  • User security: Netskope audits and verifies user identities, integrating with third-party providers for secure authentication across web and cloud services. user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) detects anomalous behavior and assigns a user confidence index (UCI) score, enabling adaptive access control in real-time.
  • Device security: Device intelligence inventories all devices (including IoT/OT), authenticates them, and uses machine learning to isolate risky devices in network microsegments. The continuous inspection and real-time control reduces device-level risk.
  • Application & workload security: Cloud access security broker (CASB) inventories and assigns a risk score (cloud confidence index (CCI)) to over 85,000 applications, including Shadow IT. Granular, instance-aware controls protect source code and ensure the separation of development and production environments.
  • Data security: The Data loss prevention (DLP) engine discovers and classifies organizational data across all environments. It enforces real-time protection measures like obfuscation and encryption, ensuring data at rest and in transit is protected by consistent policy.
  • Network & environment security: Private access and SD-WAN support network segmentation and microsegmentation by applying security policies uniformly to traffic steered through the Netskope NewEdge Network. This extends the security perimeter to any user, anywhere.
  • Automation & orchestration: The platform supports automated policy orchestration and continuous monitoring. Cloud ticket orchestrator (CTO) automates remediation efforts and incident response by integrating alerts with tools like Jira and ServiceNow.
  • Visibility & analytics: Advanced Analytics maps data flows and assesses cloud risks, providing dashboards to track security trends. The platform continuously generates log data for all traffic across web, cloud, and device, which can be exported to SIEM tools for comprehensive analysis.
