    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Zero Trust Security Training for Government
    Training FAQ

    Real questions from real professionals who passed.
    Here's how we answer them.

    Zero Trust is a cybersecurity model built on the principle of “never trust, always verify” — every user, device, and connection must be authenticated and authorized regardless of network location. Federal civilian agencies are required to adopt Zero Trust under OMB Memorandum M-22-09 and the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model, with specific implementation milestones tied to the federal cybersecurity strategy.

    The course covers all seven pillars of the Zero Trust framework: Identity, Device, Network, Application & Workload, Data, Visibility & Analytics, and Automation & Orchestration. Each pillar includes hands-on labs based on realistic government scenarios.

    Yes. The curriculum is built around NIST SP 800-207, OMB M-22-09, and the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model — the three foundational documents driving federal Zero Trust adoption. You learn what federal auditors and agency CISOs actually expect to see.

    This course is designed for federal IT and security professionals tasked with implementing Zero Trust, including security architects, network engineers, IAM specialists, system administrators, and security operations staff at civilian, defense, and intelligence agencies — plus contractors supporting federal Zero Trust initiatives.

    No. This is a hands-on training course focused on practical Zero Trust implementation, not exam preparation. Attendees receive a Certificate of Completion and CPE credits applicable to most major IT security certifications.

    A working knowledge of enterprise IT and security fundamentals is recommended — networking, identity management, and core cybersecurity concepts. No specific certifications are required, though prior exposure to federal security frameworks is helpful.

    The course includes hands-on labs covering multi-factor authentication and conditional access, device compliance policies, network microsegmentation, application security hardening, data classification and DLP, security analytics dashboards, and automated incident response — all in realistic government scenarios.

    Yes. We offer team training and onsite delivery for agencies and contractors, available through GSA Schedule and other government contract vehicles. Contact our enterprise team for custom pricing, scheduling, and tailored content.
