Most federal agencies on target to meet Sept. 30 zero trust goals; National Labor Relations Board scores a $23 million TMF investment
The federal government is closing in on total zero-trust implementation across agencies as the Sept. 30 deadline to do so approaches quickly. During a panel at the Billington Cybersecurity Summit in Washington, D.C., Federal CIO Clare Martorana announced that the 24 Chief Financial Officers Act agencies are all in the “high 90% range” for implementing the basic elements of a zero-trust architecture, which they are required to do by the end of the fiscal year. Additionally, Martorana said that metrics have shown, broadly, that federal entities have moved from 81% to 87% in completion rates.
The National Labor Relations Board is the latest beneficiary of the Technology Modernization Fund, receiving $23 million from the fund to modernize its case management system.The investment will help the NLRB replace its “outdated system” with a newer cloud-based solution, “dramatically improving the agency’s ability to protect workers’ rights and process labor disputes efficiently,” according to an announcement Thursday from the General Services Administration, which oversees the TMF program.
