Summary
The Navy seeks an adaptive Zero Trust data control system to secure critical combat system data for real-time decision-making in wartime, ensuring data integrity and preventing unauthorized access through advanced authentication (biometrics, MFA, behavioral analysis), micro-segmentation, AI/ML threat detection, and blockchain secure logging. Key performance requirements include reducing authentication time from 15 seconds to under 5 seconds, reducing unauthorized data access risk by at least 90%, and reducing administrative overhead by at least 25%, all while maintaining resilience in degraded environments. The solution must comply with NIST SP 800-207 Zero Trust Architecture standards and is restricted under ITAR.
