Trusting Leaders in a Zero Trust Environment

As State and Local agencies pursue their zero trust goals taking into consideration the Executive Order 14028, “Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity,” it is easy to focus on technology solutions.

But that overlooks something fundamental about both the challenge and the purpose of moving to zero trust – the human beings that will use the redesigned systems to better meet their agency’s mission. If a zero-trust implementation makes their work more difficult or time-consuming, or it becomes harder for them to interact with the people they serve, they will resist the change.

Join us as thought leaders from government and industry discuss how to align the objectives of cybersecurity and IT teams with the objectives of mission leaders to achieve results that serve everyone – including the public.

We’ll Discuss:

• Identify effective messaging techniques to gain the support of leadership on priorities, risks and budgets
• Understand the role of structured, cross-organizational forums in building alignment across diverse stakeholders
• Outline ways to find organizational barriers to better alignment of processes, teams and objectives
• Review the importance of cybersecurity training for end users that incorporates its value to meeting the agency’s mission
