From Perimeter to Localized Protection

As Canadian municipalities accelerate their digital transformation, traditional perimeter-based security is no longer enough. Leaders are balancing smart city initiatives, remote workforces, and increasingly interconnected critical infrastructure, making the road to Zero Trust a hard path to follow. For Municipal Information Systems Association (MISA) members, safeguarding citizen data and ensuring the continuity of vital local services requires a shift from "trust but verify" to a strict Zero Trust architecture.

But how do you realistically achieve Zero Trust in a complex municipal environment filled with legacy systems, diverse departments and budget constraints? The answer lies in microsegmentation.

This webinar is specifically tailored for Canadian municipal IT leaders, CIOs, and security professionals. We will demystify the journey to Zero Trust, demonstrating how microsegmentation acts as the foundational pillar of modern municipal defense. By dividing the network into granular, isolated zones, microsegmentation prevents lateral threat movement, contains breaches, and protects high-value assets including everything from GIS mapping data to sensitive citizen financial records.

During this webinar, you’ll learn:

• The Municipal Zero Trust Roadmap: Why traditional firewalls fall short in modern municipal ecosystems and how to transition to a Zero Trust model.
• Microsegmentation Demystified: A practical look at how to isolate workloads, secure legacy applications, and protect critical OT (Operational Technology) like water and traffic management systems.
• Compliance & Data Sovereignty: How microsegmentation helps Canadian municipalities align with provincial privacy legislations (such as FIPPA/FOIP) and federal cybersecurity frameworks.
• Phased Implementation Strategies: How MISA members can leverage a crawl-walk-run approach to deploy microsegmentation without disrupting daily citizen services or overwhelming lean IT teams.
