Advances in AI-assisted technologies and the growing sophistication of international threat actors are increasing the stakes for federal agencies to implement new and more effective safeguards to protect the nation’s strategic data. Much of that effort revolves around the Biden administration’s Executive Orders on National Cybersecurity and related mandates coming due in 2024 to adopt zero-trust architectures across their enterpris...

Zero Trust (ZT) potentially transforms DoD Cybersecurity. ZT is a cybersecurity strategy wherein security policy is applied based on context established through least-privileged access controls and strict user authentication—not assumed trust. As the DOD explains in its roadmap, “there is one destination (zero trust) with many paths.” To that end, DOD’s Zero Trust strategy details 45 capabilities that support target lev...

State and local governments had to adapt quickly to the effects of the pandemic, as workers and residents alike were encouraged to shelter in their homes. This created major challenges for agencies’ IT systems and technical support staff. Rather than using a “hub-and-spoke” method of connecting employees to servers, data, applications, and each other – where cybersecurity focused on firewalls around the perimeter ...

Cybersecurity has always contended with evolving threats. As the internet has become more embedded into social and economic life and smart phones, tablets and other handheld devices become ubiquitous, bad actors have devised new attacks to capitalize on new vulnerabilities. And just as agencies are implementing zero trust architecture to help with this wave, other IT developments are threatening to upend cybersecurity even more. For instance,...

Battle fields are constantly evolving and becoming ever-more digitally connected. As such, Cyber-Physical risks are more prevalent across our most critical sectors, and the threat landscape continues to expand. Moreover, Geopolitical events dictate that the only certainty is uncertainty. Against this backdrop, the United States Government and its military leaders are enhancing operational capabilities to mitigate risk spanning our complex infr...

A decade ago, the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) Program put agencies on the right path with critical investments in identity and access automation, but technology hasn’t stood still. Today, the Federal Zero Trust Strategy aims to accelerate cyber maturity throughout the government and secure our nation’s future. At the same time, relentless innovation in Artificial Intelligence is changing the game for attackers and d...

So that begs the question, what are the current and most pressing threats that are waging war against the zero-trust methodology? Join us online Wednesday, Feb. 7 from 2-2:50 p.m. ET/11-11:50 a.m. PT to hear from government and industry experts about the current threat landscape and what should be on your radar for 2024.

The cat-and-mouse game between threat actors and cybersecurity professionals continued unabated in 2023, with new threats designed to avoid detection. Many of these threats are new takes on old ones, such as “leveling up” invoice fraud. And ransomware attacks are evolving; rather than encrypting victims’ data, they are straightforwardly stealing the information and extorting payment by threatening to post the info online or t...
