This has restored my faith in the government wrt technology. I am sure there are some very passionate and smart people behind this initiative who are motivated by doing things right rather than intellectual laziness. I’m convinced that the “defense in depth” and “security permitter” models were pretty much entirely driven by laziness (define a perimeter and call it a day) and pork (defense in depth= we can pay for tons of different disjoint security software/vendors/contracting because it adds depth). Zero trust actually requires you to do the right thing and do it everywhere, and hopefully reduces the amount of waste thrown at vendors. It will create a lot of integration work but will hopefully consolidate the actual security software used.
