Building on Cyber Strengths

Agencies have spent years working on cybersecurity, from implementing continuous diagnostics and mitigation to installing identity authentication and management tools to moving to a Zero Trust architecture. The challenge now is how to build on what is already in place to contend with a new threat landscape, including AI being used by hostile interests to circumvent current security measures.

It is not about “ripping and replacing” what you have—it’s about strengthening it. It is what can be integrated into your existing tool stack to make your security posture stronger, your operations more efficient, and proactively position your agency to be resilient for tomorrow’s threats. Just as important are simplicity, agility, and visibility when considering how to expand your cybersecurity.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the importance of interoperability in a zero trust architecture, including public, private, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments
• Identify the solutions already in place, such as endpoint detection and response (EDR), security information and event management (SIEM), identity and access management (IAM), and cloud-native solutions, to better understand where reinforcement is most important
• Review emerging security requirements around new capabilities such as AI infrastructure
