# Federal Agencies Advance Zero Trust

Federal agencies are required to reach target-level Zero Trust maturity by the end of FY 2027. A sponsored article presents Versa’s Unified SASE platform as a possible technology option and notes Versa’s role as the Zero Trust technology provider in the Defense Information Systems Agency’s (DISA) Thunderdome program. The article does not announce a new solicitation, contract value, or procurement contact, so it signals a capability area rather than a specific contracting opportunity.

- Agencies planning security procurements can assess Zero Trust and SASE offerings against their maturity targets and implementation needs.
- Technology providers may use the Thunderdome reference as relevant experience, while distinguishing that program involvement from any new award or solicitation.
- The FY 2027 target makes Zero Trust implementation relevant to upcoming agency planning; the stated requirement applies to federal agencies, not necessarily to contractors directly.
