TYSONS CORNER, VA, October 14, 2020 — Drew Schnabel, vice president of Zscaler's federal business, outlined the potential advantages of combining the secure access service edge model with a zero-trust architecture for the Department of Defense's transition to a data-driven security approach, ExecutiveBiz reported Sept. 30.
"The SASE model moves essential security functions — such as web gateway firewalls, zero-trust capabilities, data loss prevention and secure network connectivity — all to the cloud," Schnabel wrote in a Sept. 19 opinion piece for C4ISRNET.
"Then, federal employees have direct access to the cloud, while security is pushed as close to the user/data/device as possible.
He added that DoD plans to start implementing a zero-trust system by the end of this year.
