Roughly five years ago, John Kindervag, security thought leader and former Forrester analyst, proposed a solution that he termed “Zero Trust.” The principle behind it is quite simple, but very powerful: Trust is not an attribute of location. You shouldn’t trust something simply because it is behind your firewall. Instead, you should take a very pessimistic view on security where every machine, user, and server should be untru...

This hour-long video webinar will bring together thought leaders from the public and private sectors to talk about ways to build a culture for...

Last fall, the Administration unveiled its plan for government-wide cloud adoption, and the new policy, called Cloud Smart, focused squarely on mission outcomes rather than merely the benefits of the cloud. Deeply linked into the Cloud Smart initiative is the emphasis on procurement techniques, secure data mitigation, and mitigating gaps in workforce skills mainstays toward a more holistic approach to IT modernization. This webinar will discus...

As data security threats increase in number and sophistication, federal, state, and local government agencies must remain vigilant. At the same time, agencies rely on the exchange of data to operate. Congress established the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) Program to provide adequate, risk-based, and cost-effective cybersecurity and more efficiently allocate cybersecurity resources. This webinar will define CDM and explore its use...
