Operationalizing Zero Trust Across Federal Missions
Federal agencies are entering a new phase of security modernization focused on turning zero trust strategy into operational progress across enterprise, tactical, Internet of Things (IoT), and operational technology (OT) environments. Mission operations increasingly depend on secure, resilient connectivity to support cloud adoption, distributed users, edge operations, critical infrastructure, autonomous systems, and communications in contested or disconnected environments – without adding more complexity to already strained IT and security teams.
Explore:
- How agencies can move from zero trust strategy to operational execution across three connected domains: enterprise SD-WAN and secure access service edge modernization, tactical and mission network resilience, and IoT/OT security for operational environments and critical infrastructure
- Practical ways agencies can improve visibility, automate policy, reduce infrastructure sprawl, and secure access across any environment
- How validated architectures, flexible deployment models, and practical acquisition pathways can accelerate progress toward zero trust goals while strengthening the networks that power agency missions

Zero Trust Across the Mission
Federal agencies are advancing zero trust as part of a broader push to modernize security and networking, strengthen resilience, and support mission operations across increasingly distributed environments. Learn how agencies can apply consistent security policy across enterprise, tactical, IoT/OT, and mission environments.

Extending Zero Trust Across the Mission
The next phase of zero trust modernization requires agencies to think beyond a single network, environment, or use case. Enterprise users, cloud applications, tactical operations, IoT devices, OT systems, and physical security infrastructure are all part of the mission fabric, and all require secure, resilient connectivity. In this episode of MeriTalking, Gail Emery sits down with Rodney Butcher, account manager at ThunderCat Technology, and John McDonald, vice president for federal sales at Versa Networks, to explore how agencies can extend zero trust and modern network security across enterprise, tactical, and operational environments.

Practical Steps for Turning Zero Trust Strategy Into Mission Progress
MeriTalk sat down with Chris “CT” Thomas, technical director in Dell Technologies’ Global Office of the Chief Technology Officer, to discuss practical considerations for SD-WAN, secure access service edge (SASE), security service edge (SSE), and related capabilities that can help agencies make measurable zero trust progress.
