General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT) introduced the first proven suite of zero trust solutions designed to integrate with existing IT environments. The solutions offer the Department of War (DoW) and other government agencies a faster, more cost-effective approach to adopting zero trust.
The cyber threat landscape facing the DoW and federal agencies is evolving rapidly, with AI fundamentally changing the speed, scale and complexity of emerging threats. To help protect IT systems and operational warfighting environments, the DoW is prioritizing the implementation of proven zero trust solutions that verify every user and device before allowing access to sensitive data, assets and services. Most DoW organizations have already made some investments in zero trust measures, but current industry solutions require removing and replacing existing IT infrastructure to protect systems.
To solve this complex challenge, GDIT has invested in its Everest Zero Trust portfolio to enable DoW and other government organizations to leverage existing technology investments and accelerate delivery of zero trust capabilities. The portfolio includes three distinct solutions:
- Clarity delivers in-depth IT infrastructure assessments and establishes an actionable implementation plan to deliver zero trust.
- Flex is the industry’s first modular zero trust solution purpose-built for government agencies. Designed to close zero trust gaps, Flex integrates into existing infrastructure and aligns with each agency’s individual roadmap. The result is faster implementation that builds on an agency’s current investments rather than replacing what is already in place.
- Unified is GDIT’s full-stack zero trust solution, which is ideally suited for new IT systems and operational warfighting environments that don’t have existing zero trust infrastructure.
GDIT’s Everest Zero Trust solutions are the first and only to successfully complete a government “red team” cyber assessment of an upgraded IT system, demonstrating it can withstand sophisticated cyberattacks. The company has deployed these solutions in more than 40 mission environments, including supporting more than one million Department of the Air Force users across 187 bases worldwide and delivering comprehensive cybersecurity services for the Army National Guard.
“As cyberattacks become increasingly sophisticated, fueled by AI, our customers need proven zero trust solutions tailored to their mission environments,” said Brian Sheridan, GDIT’s senior vice president for Defense. “Our flexible, scalable and cost-effective zero trust solutions will enable agencies to achieve DoW’s mission to rapidly implement zero trust, combat advanced cyber threats, and ultimately protect our national defense operations.”
The Everest Zero Trust solutions are the latest in GDIT’s growing portfolio of Mission Solutions designed to bring advanced technology capabilities for critical government missions. It also aligns with the company’s Vision, Innovation and Acceleration (VIA) strategy launched earlier this year, which prioritizes delivering secure, next‑generation technologies at speed.
GDIT is a business unit of General Dynamics, a global aerospace and defense company that offers a broad portfolio of products and services in business aviation; ship construction and repair; land combat vehicles, weapons systems and munitions; and technology products and services.
