Harness aids federal agencies in adopting a zero trust architecture (ZTA) by aligning with the U.S. Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency's (CISA) five key pillars, which are essential for enhancing cybersecurity and compliance by fiscal year 2024. Following President Biden's Executive Order on Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity, the Federal Zero Trust Strategy outlined in memorandum M-22-16 emphasizes goals such as minimizing attack surfaces and treating all networks as potentially compromised. Harness provides support through integrations with identity management systems, comprehensive security testing, and secure communication protocols like TLS, as well as deploying sidecar services for enhanced security. The platform offers tools for managing secrets, enforcing governance policies, and integrating with cloud security services to ensure data protection and compliance, while also facilitating collaboration between security and developer teams to maintain delivery efficiency without compromising security.
