Mission-Ready Zero Trust for Federal Agencies

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

Our AI-powered single 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 in a compressed timeline.

Modernize legacy security for the Zero Trust era

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

Extend secure networking into mission environments

Bring resilient, secure connectivity to tactical, mobile, OT, and mission-system environments, not just 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, simplify operations, and support modernization under growing budget and efficiency pressure.

Mission Networks

VersaONE Universal SASE converges networking and security into a single, software-defined architecture that applies Zero Trust consistently across users, devices, applications, and network segments.

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.

What is SASE for Government?

Versa SASE includes many networking and security services that help support government operations, such as Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and Trusted Internet Connections (TIC) 3.0 compliance.

The platform delivers these services in a single software stack, single management interface, flexibly via the cloud, on-premises, or as a blended combination of both. Public sector organizations can leverage these capabilities to adopt the application delivery infrastructure that best fits their requirements without sacrificing security, performance, reliability, or control.

Governments, like large enterprises, are experiencing significant changes in their operating environment and are striving to modernize their network to accommodate these needs.

Versa SASE solves security breaches and user challenges with:
  • Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN)
  • Zerto Trust Network Access (ZTNA)
  • Secure Web Gateway (SWG)
  • Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)
  • Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS)
  • Remote Browser Isolation (RBI)

Federal agencies have extremely stringent compliance and regulatory requirements because their data is highly sought after by financially and politically motivated attackers. Whether the attacker is targeting social security numbers, classified documents and data, or government traded secrets, maximum security measures must be integrated across the entire network.

As seen in previous government breaches, these attacks can shut down essential business operations throughout the organization. Government shutdowns affect millions of Americans and can lead to serious financial losses and invasion of citizen’s personal information.

Versa SASE delivers key capabilities including:
  • Complete security flexibility in the network
  • Policy-driven security
  • RBAC assessed through communication sessions
  • Purely software-defined services
  • Applicable at the network logical edge vs. physical edge
  • Secure connection to IoT devices

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.

Use Cases

Versa SASE can help a variety of governmental use cases:

Mobile with Versa

Department of Defense

Implement a Zero Trust architecture built on Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)

Mobile with Versa

Civilian Agencies

Support responsive and effective engagement with civilians and other government agency members without quality loss or network latency.

Mobile with Versa

Intelligence Agencies

Enable secure and efficient communications with members of intelligence community. Securely transfer and access classified documents from anywhere in real-time.

Mobile with Versa

System Integrators

Seamlessly share private data and information when working with 3rd party vendors.

Set-up Instant Networks. Anywhere. Anytime.

Versa SASE enables instant networks to be populated wherever and whenever, helping mitigate current network security and performance issues.

This sophisticated platform can support the geographical and environmental issues that IT and security teams are plagued with when launching new networks allowing them to be mobile and easily accessible. Network integration can be done securely and quickly through the use of ZTNA.

ZTNA Control

ZTNA can help prevent potential data breaches and cybersecurity attacks through the framework of technologies working together, based on the assumption that nothing is trusted: not users, devices, data, workloads, locations, or the network.

ZTNA’s primary function within a SASE solution is to authenticate users to applications. Advanced context and role-based identity, combined with Multifactor Authentication (MFA), are essential for securing access for users and devices, for both on and off-network access.
