ZTAG-I, a reference zero trust architecture for the US federal government

AWS introduces the Zero Trust Accelerator for Government – Integrated (ZTAG-I), a reference architecture designed to help US federal agencies adopt zero trust security principles more easily.

• Addresses challenges in zero trust implementation by providing a tested, integrated technology stack
• Combines solutions from AWS, CrowdStrike, Okta, Zscaler, Splunk, and XQ
• Covers zero trust pillars: User, Device, Network, Data, Application & Workload, Visibility & Analytics
• Aligns with CISA and Department of Defense zero trust guidance
• Offers a modular approach that allows agencies to adopt zero trust incrementally

The architecture provides a practical blueprint for federal agencies to move from zero trust planning to deployment, with flexibility to customize and integrate existing security investments.
