Government Agency Implements Zero Trust Across a Hybrid Environment

This case study describes an illustrative, composite scenario built from patterns ScaleCloud commonly sees in engagements of this type. It does not describe an identified ScaleCloud customer, and any resemblance to a specific organization is coincidental. A government agency needed to implement Zero Trust access controls spanning both legacy on-premises systems and newer cloud-hosted services without disrupting citizen-facing services.

Illustrative scenario

The scenario illustrates a common public-sector pattern: a directive to adopt Zero Trust principles across an environment where a meaningful share of systems cannot be immediately replaced or re-architected.
