Hot Topics in Cybersecurity Day 3: The Importance of Zero Trust Architecture
The federal mandate that agencies utilize a Zero Trust architecture to strengthen cybersecurity has been in place for four years, and most federal agencies have made excellent progress toward meeting the deadlines spelled out in the Executive Order.
State and local governments are not covered by the federal EO, but many of them are pursuing their own zero trust policies or evaluating how to implement them. After all, having a zero trust architecture in place provides a comprehensive strategic approach for protecting against a wide range of cyberattacks.
Learning Objectives:
- List the elements of a zero trust architecture implementation plan, including risk assessments, budget and resource requirements, and multi-factor authentication techniques/tools
- Review your own government’s commitment to and plan for establishing a zero trust architecture, government-wide and within your agency
