Veterans Cybersecurity Group Introduces a "Zero Trust Proving Ground" as an essential step in Zero Trust Testing for Federal AgenciesPLANTATION, Fla., Dec. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The Federal Mandate on Zero Trust Network Goals Veterans Cybersecurity Group (VCSG) CTO, and Senior IEEE Zero Trust Working Group (ZTWG) member, Mr. Leighton Johnson has stated, "Although NIST and CISA have defined principles, it is difficult to audit a set of principles. Currently, there are no Zero Trust standards to test and validate complex ZTA Solutions. The IEEE ZTWG is tasked with the yearslong process of developing a Zero Trust ISO Standard. However, VCSG aims to establish testing criteria immediately thrugh an iterative SecDevOps approach. To this end, VCSG is establishing a Zero Trust Proving Ground (ZTPG) to test and evaluate ZTA implementations." Zero Trust Proving Ground (ZTPG) VCSG's Zero Trust Proving Ground (ZTPG) brings together government and industry to establish a rigorous testing standard for ZTA solutions. Extensive vulnerability analysis and penetration testing within the ZTPG will inform the development of a standardized ZTA testing framework. This framework will empower federal agencies to evaluate and integrate third-party ZTA solutions into their emerging cybersecurity architectures. Project Stakeholders Interested Stakeholders should contact VCSG President Paul Gozaloff at (754) 423-7352 or email [email protected] for more information.
