Accelerating DTM-25-003 Outcomes with Identity-First, Authenticate-Before-Connect Networking
DoD components are under a clear mandate to achieve, at minimum, target-level Zero Trust across unclassified and classified systems (including national security systems) on the DoDIN by the end of FY2027, with priority of effort on NIPRNet and SIPRNet. Zero Trust principles must also be incorporated into weapon systems and the combined joint tactical environment, including denied, degraded, intermittent, and limited bandwidth (DDIL) operations.
NetFoundry provides a fundamentally different approach: identity-first Zero Trust Connectivity Fabric that enforces authenticate-before-connect access to named services. It integrates with enterprise ICAM via BYO IdP (OIDC) and BYO PKI/CA, keeping trust anchors and credentialing under DoD control, and aligns strongly with NIST 800-207 – particularly for microsegmentation and end-to-end encryption.
