What this funds

At the request level, DSS will continue to support enterprise-wide information technology security enhancement initiatives. These initiatives facilitate a centrally managed IT environment with increased security parameters to protect the integrity of DOL data and network availability. FY 2026 The FY 2026 funding level for DSS is $6,889,000. At this level, DSS will carry out the following activities: Identity, Credential, and Access Management; Zero Trust Architecture; Security Operations Center Enhancements; Information System Continuous Monitoring and Authorization; Data Center Optimization; Quantum Analysis; Endpoint Detection and Response; and Enhancing AI Defense. FY 2025 The FY 2025 funding level for DSS was $6,889,000. This level supported the following cybersecurity modernization efforts: Zero Trust Program o Deployed Zscaler, a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution, to all agency mobile device users which expands security capabilities. o Implemented conditional-based access pilots for infrastructure applications and elevated privilege accounts to help ensure that only appropriate users gain access to applications and information. o Enabled data loss prevention (DLP) categorization and began testing DLP policies. This will ultimately assign sensitivity labels to data and allow for implementation of appropriate security controls to reduce the risk of unintended data exposure (i.e., PII). o Assisted the Office of the Inspector General and the Bureau of Labor Statistics with their initial rollout and implementation of Zscaler. Information System Continuous Monitoring and Authorization o Maintained all OCIO-managed information systems at ongoing authorization status. This represented a significant maturity in the Department's security authorization program. o Conducted comprehensive security reviews, incorporating AI security checklists for systems utilizing generative AI. IT Security Operations Center (SOC) Enhancement o Maintained and expanded enterprise security monitoring tools, many of which were acquired through the Department of Homeland Security's Continuous Diagnostic and Mitigation (CDM) program. These tools help DOL continuously observe, analyze, and respond to threats within the environment. o Successfully closed 11 of 16 prior-year FISMA audit recommendations. ITM - 12 DEPARTMENTAL SUPPORT SYSTEMS Identity Credential and Access Management o Expanded single sign-on (SSO) capabilities to over 242 DOL applications and 28 login.gov applications. o Integrated CyberArk with SailPoint to manage privileged accounts to achieve end-to-end governance and security for privileged user accounts. Integration reduces the risk of accounts being compromised by enforcing strict controls and creates operational efficiencies by automating account lifecycle management. o Onboarded over 1,100 users and offboarded over 4,400 users using SailPoint.
