DOJ Requests $110.3 Million Increase for Zero-Trust Migration of Classified and National Security Systems

DOJ requested $149 million for its FY2027 Justice Information Sharing Technology fund, a $110.3 million increase over recent years to migrate 275,000 endpoints to zero-trust architecture. Of that, $66.1 million targets classified and national security systems. The build includes a central identity provider, cloud-based network broker replacing VPNs, and real-time endpoint detection. DOJ warned that without full funding, its systems remain exposed to the lateral movement techniques exploited in the SolarWinds intrusion.
