In a recent Executive Spotlight interview, ExecutiveBiz spoke with Zain Ahmed, senior vice president of public sector at Lumen Technologies, to discuss how the company is driving digital transformation in the federal landscape and how it is helping agencies implement zero trust architecture. The Q&A also tackled federal networks and platforms and the importance of having a core infrastructure ready to be a software-based network.
Here’s an excerpt from the interview with Ahmed about zero trust and the Trusted Internet Connections 3.0 initiative:
“Lumen has been working closely with several agencies to deploy auto-pilots. We were the first to offer TIC 3.0 solutions on a GSA contract vehicle. These solutions can drastically decrease latency while enhancing the user experience.
We have a laser focus on the remote user and the urgency to modernize how people look at network security following the pandemic. This focus leverages identity-based security services as well as access and control technologies that enable us to provide customization and flexibility in our approach.”
