Federal Zero Trust
Federal Zero Trust Strategy
The cross-government strategic posture established by OMB Memorandum M-22-09 (January 26, 2022) that organizes federal civilian executive branch cybersecurity around zero trust principles and the five pillars (identity, devices, networks, applications, data). The strategy is operationalized through CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model, individual agency zero trust implementation plans submitted to OMB, and the deadlines and reporting cadence set by M-22-09. The strategy is the federal civilian counterpart to the DoD Zero Trust Strategy published by the DoD CIO in November 2022.
