Full Story

Zero trust security architecture — eliminating implicit trust and continuously verifying every user, device, and connection — became a contractual requirement for US federal contractors in Q4 2025, following the Biden-era executive order and subsequent OMB implementation guidance. Federal agencies must achieve specific zero trust maturity levels by FY2026, driving significant security transformation investment across the government supply chain.
