The federal CISO says OMB is working closely with government departments to capture the costs of implementing zero trust in their budgets.

The agency is also working on a SOC-as-a-Service offering and potentially blue teaming.

Chief information officer Zach Goldstein tells FedScoop the agency plans to launch a Cloud Program Management Office in fiscal 2023.

The Interagency Zero Trust Leadership Steering Group will tackle the funding challenges that federal IT leaders face.

Requirements will emphasize Cloud Smart objectives and cybersecurity supply chain risk management while providing agencies an open source experience.

Next up the agency will publish finalized TIC 3.0 cloud use cases and a new version of the Zero Trust Maturity Model.

OMB has submitted two proposals for updating contract language to the FAR Council.
