Public Sector Tech Talk E13: Moving to a Zero Trust Framework
Event Overview
As the threat landscape continues to evolve, government agencies cannot simply add another tool to their security stack as a method of protection. The Cyber Executive Order (EO) calls on agencies to adopt a Zero Trust framework, one that requires more than a simple point product, but a comprehensive strategy and overarching view of an agency’s cyber posture. In a cloud first world, how can agencies accelerate their journey to Zero Trust given the current and evolving cyberspace environment? And what does the future hold? This Public Sector Tech Talk will discuss considerations and recommendations in implementing a Zero Trust framework.
