By Jaspreet GillThe 2022 version of the Army’s cloud plan includes a new strategic objective that wasn’t mentioned in its previous iteration: implementing a zero trust architecture.

By Jaspreet GillThe request is $800 million more than what the Pentagon wanted last year and includes investments in zero trust architecture and support to the Defense Industrial Base.

What we have to do now is string them all together to show which ones work best for the capabilities the Army needs today and divest the ones that they don’t need,” Peraton VP Jennifer Napper said.
