Public Sector Tech Talk E04: Intrinsic Security for State, Local and Educational Organizations

Event Overview

CIOs and CISOs at state, local, and educational organizations have multiple competing priorities: secure remote access and distance learning programs; provide enhanced citizen and student services; modernize apps; and contain costs – all while protecting data, maintaining operations, and complying with regulatory mandates. Adding to that is the ever-increasing threat landscape, most notably the emergence of successful ransomware attacks on these organizations. State, local, and educational organizations need to pivot to a strategy that leverages infrastructure and control points in new ways across any app, any cloud, and any device. Combining this capability with threat intelligence enables a shift from a reactive posture to a position of strength. This episode will provide details on how intrinsic security accelerates risk identification, while preventing, detecting, and responding to threats with the right context and insights.

Segment networks and inspect traffic
Consolidate endpoint and workload protections
Protect digital workspaces
Mitigate cloud security risks
Adopt a zero trust architecture
