U.S. Department of Defense to adopt ‘ZERO TRUST’ approach to purchasing microelectronics
U.S. Department of Defense in a news release on May 19 said, the agency will adopt the “Zero Trust” approach to buying Microelectronics.
According to the report, Pentagons defense research and engineering for modernization director, Mark J. Lewis said, the agency’s zero trust approach to buying microelectronics will allow the agency to gain access to the most modern technology.
According to U.S. DOD, Mark J. Lewis said, Microelectronics are in nearly everything, including the complex weapons systems the Defense Department buys, such as the F-35 joint strike fighter.
Mark J. Lewis said, in the mid-1990s, DOD adopted a trusted foundry model for procuring microelectronics.
Lewis said The idea [was] that in order to deliver parts that we could trust, we would enable foundries that would manufacture our microelectronics where we had control over every step of the process — or so we thought,. That model, we think, has failed.
Now, Lewis said, the department looks instead to a zero trust approach to purchasing microelectronics. That assumes that nothing the department buys is safe, and that everything must be validated before it can be used.
By using zero trust, Lewis said, the department will be able to gain access to the most modern technology.
