WASHINGTON \u2014 An addendum to the Pentagon\u2019s zero-trust strategy, published in late November, is now in the works, following a meeting of the U.S. and some of its closest intelligence-sharing allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A three-day event at Fort Meade, Maryland, home to the Defense Information Systems Agency and U.S. Cyber Command, drew representatives from the Department of Defense and Five Eyes partners Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the U.K. The topic: zero trust, a new paradigm<\/a> that assumes networks are already compromised and, as a result, require continuous validation of users and devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Defense Department in a Jan. 5 announcement said the summit was fruitful, and that Australia and the U.K. shared their approaches to zero-trust development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both zero trust and international cooperation are foundational to the Pentagon\u2019s Joint All-Domain Command and Control<\/a> philosophy, or JADC2, which envisions interlinked forces and databases across land, air, sea, space and cyber. Such networking \u2014 seamlessly bridging old with new, close with far \u2014 does not yet exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs the United States military pursues digital modernization and innovation \u2014 across departments, services, and countries \u2014 it will continue to capitalize on forums like the [Security Interoperability in the Tactical Environment] <\/b>Summit to promote a shared understanding of how to advance JADC2,\u201d the Defense Department said Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
