Peter Amirkhan, senior vice president for public sector at Zscaler, has said that implementing a digital structure, prioritizing cloud efforts and adapting hardware infrastructure for telework has helped agencies ensure operational efficiency amid the pandemic.

1901 Group has joined the Zscaler ecosystem as a Public Sector channel partner, 1901 Group reported on Thursday. 1901 Group will leverage the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange cloud platform to help federal agencies adapt to telework with secure access to mission critical applications and data. “Working in FISMA and/or FedRAMP environments takes specialized skill-sets and experience," said Peter Amirkhan, SVP of Public Sector at Zscaler.

Stan Lowe, global chief information security officer at Zscaler, wrote in a commentary published Monday on FCW that adopting Trusted Internet Connection 3.0 guidance, zero trust and Secure Access Service Edge models could help ensure security as they move to the cloud and modernize their information technology infrastructure.

Drew Schnabel, vice president of federal at Zscaler, has said the Department of Defense must embrace a zero-trust infrastructure integrated with a framework based on secure edge-level access.

Drew Schnabel, vice president of federal at Zscaler, said that agencies should prioritize cyber threat detection and zero-trust architecture deployment as organizations continue to implement telework operations.

A Zscaler platform built to secure access to the internet and software-as-a-service applications has been designated "In Process" under the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program.

Patrick Perry, director of emerging technology for federal, defense and intelligence community at Zscaler, has said that agencies must consider various factors in cloud implementation as remote work becomes ubiquitous.

Patrick Perry, director of emerging technology for federal DOD/IC at Zscaler, wrote in a commentary published Tuesday on FCW that there are three measures agencies should consider as they advance their digital transformation efforts and one is sharing modernization guidelines and lessons learned.

Zscaler will help the Defense Innovation Unit to develop a prototype zero-trust framework that will enable over 500K Department of Defense users to access software-as-a-service applications off-network, FedScoop reported Monday.

Stephen Kovac, vice president of global government and head of corporate compliance at Zscaler, spoke to ExecutiveBiz regarding the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s recently released Trusted Internet Connection 3.0 Interim Telework Guidance and how it will assist with the public sector’s remote work.

Patrick Perry, director of emerging technology for federal, defense and intelligence community at Zscaler, wrote in an opinion piece published Wednesday on Fifth Domain that the Department of Defense should strike a balance between security and operations as it moves its workforce to a teleworking environment. He said DoD should shift its focus from network security to data security to support teleworking and manage large data volumes and increasing bandwidth requirements.

The Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issued interim Trusted Internet Connections 3.0 telework guidance and Stephen Kovac, vice president of global government  at Zscaler, said the document requires cloud service providers to submit telemetry data to the National Cybersecurity Protection System’s EINSTEIN team, FedScoop reported Thursday.

Patrick Perry, director of emerging technology for federal DOD/IC at Zscaler, wrote in a commentary published Tuesday on Defense Systems that the Department of Defense should change its focus from network security to data security to better manage large data volumes and increasing bandwidth requirements.

Some industry experts said the introduction of draft guidance to implement the Trusted Internet Connections 3.0 policy seeks to reflect the move to separate the Department of Homeland Security’s EINSTEIN cybersecurity program from the TIC initiative, Federal News Network reported Tuesday. “TIC 3.0 isn’t here to kill EINSTEIN, but decouple it from TIC. I think some form of EINSTEIN will still need to exist," said Stephen Kovac, vice president of global government and corporate compliance at Zscaler.

Stephen Kovac, vice president for global government and head of corporate compliance at Zscaler, has said that agencies must consider cloud security in efforts to fortify digital infrastructure through the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation program.
