The Department of Defense should prioritize reusing cybersecurity technologies it has already invested in within zero-trust architectures to stretch its funding, says Petko Stoyanov, global CTO of Forcepoint. Congress isn’t likely to substantially increase the Pentagon’s 12 percent share of the federal budget to buy new zero-trust tools, so it needs to improve the integration of existing ones instead, Stoyanov says.

Government agencies have masses of personally identifiable information (PII), such as Social Security numbers, health records and financial details, at their disposal, and they need effective ways to gather, manage, store and secure it.
