We live in an IT world surrounded by buzzwords that are largely marketing gimmicks. Zero Trust, for example, is a concept no one actually understands and is slapped onto everything, including derivatives like Zero Trust networks (ZTN) and Zero Trust network access (ZTNA). Then there’s Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), Security Service Edge (SSE) and everything that falls under these frameworks such as Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), Secure Web Gateway (SWG).

Rather than tackle new security gaps in isolation, state and local governments need the resources and expertise of the federal government and the private sector. This is why it's great to see the creation of the StateRAMP Authorized Vendor List.
As the federal government continues to emphasize the importance of Zero Trust, Lookout has achieved a major milestone to aid in those efforts. We’re proud to announce that the Lookout Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution has obtained Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Provisional Authority to Operate (P-ATO).
