Mission-ready Zero Trust for Federal agencies

Versa delivers mission-ready Zero Trust for Federal organizations that need to modernize their networks and upgrade their legacy security across enterprise, tactical, OT, and mission environments.

Our AI-powered VersaONE platform spans the smallest edge deployments to high-capacity gateways, helping agencies improve resiliency, consistency, and cost efficiency wherever the mission operates. FedRAMP Moderate certification and existing federal operations allow civilian, defense, and intelligence agencies to deploy VersaONE services and capabilities in a compressed timeline.

Modernize legacy networking and security for the Zero Trust era

Replace fragmented enterprise architectures with a unified secure networking foundation aligned to Federal Zero Trust goals.

Extend secure networking into mission environments

Bring resilient, secure SD-WAN connectivity to tactical, mobile, OT, and mission-system environments, beyond traditional enterprise networks.

Standardize on one common platform

Use the same platform across base, field, and edge environments to improve consistency, simplify operations, and support “train as you fight” requirements.

Reduce complexity and cost

Consolidate functions and support modernization under growing budget and efficiency pressure.

Mission Networks

Versa's platform converges networking and security into a single, software-defined architecture for enterprise and specialized networks that applies Zero Trust consistently across users, devices, and applications.

Operational Technology (OT)

Versa enforces Zero Trust access controls and performs microsegmentation at the network level, isolating OT systems without requiring endpoint security agents or any changes to the devices themselves.

Tactical & Unmanned Systems

VersaONE is ideal for environments where conditions change rapidly, hardware must fit within strict size, weight, and power limits, and transport requires flexible connectivity over satellite, cellular, radio, and wired links.

Thunderdome: Zero Trust
for Mission Networks

Versa's integrated platform is already operating as the Zero Trust core for Thunderdome, DISA's operational Zero Trust network architecture for its mission networks, providing the SD-WAN, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), Access Control, IDS/IPS, and Firewall capabilities. Highlights include:

  • Fast deployment: Has ramped to over 400 sites at 10 agencies ahead of schedule
  • Benchmarks 100% met: Thunderdome has hit all 152 of its Zero Trust capability outcomes two years ahead of the 2027 deadline
  • Simplified footprint: Multiple point products at each site (Cisco ASR, PAN firewalls, Cisco Firepower) replaced by a single Versa appliance
  • Cost savings: Efficiencies gained are calculated at over $300 million
  • Interoperability: Supports mission partner communications and legacy protocols

FedRAMP Moderate Authorized

VersaONE Universal SASE is FedRAMP Moderate authorized through the SMX Elevate Intelligent Automation Platform, enabling federal civilian agencies to deploy Versa within an accredited environment using an existing Authority to Operate (ATO). The authorization builds on Versa’s sovereign and mission-critical deployments across federal civilian, defense, and intelligence environments.

Meet the FY2027 Zero Trust mandate while improving mission readiness

The U.S. federal government has mandated agencies achieve full target-level Zero Trust implementation by September 30, 2027, requiring identity-driven, continuously verified architectures while cutting costs and ensuring mission success.

The VersaONE platform collapses historically fragmented security and networking capabilities into a single software stack with a single management interface, replacing legacy perimeter-based architectures with continuous enforcement. Capabilities include:

Apps

Zero Trust Network Access

ZTNA replaces VPNs and enforces access policies dynamically at any location, adjusting security posture based on real-time analysis of user behavior and network conditions, whether for warfighters, remote users, or users at campuses or branches.

Apps

Continuous enforcement

Sessions are continuously authenticated and authorized against dynamic policy while granular microsegmentation limits lateral movement and contains any threats.

Apps

From the base to the tactical edge

One platform connects from backpack-scale deployments to 100 Gbp fixed gateways with integrated routing, SD-WAN, ZTNA, SWG, NGFW, IPS/IDS, CASB, DLP, and ATP and policy enforcement at the network edge.

Apps

Unified visibility and compliance

A single management interface provides consistent visibility across all environments, simplifying the reporting required to demonstrate compliance with federal Zero Trust benchmarks.

Apps

AI-powered threat detection

AI-driven detection draws on telemetry from across the network and uses behavioral analytics to detect and respond to threats at machine speed, matching the pace of modern adversaries.

Apps

Securing AI usage

The single-pass SASE fabric fuses network, security, identity, and application awareness to protect and connect your entire AI estate.
