Cyberthreats are disrupting our lives now more than ever, and we’ve reached a tipping point. Agencies are turning to Zero Trust for complete network security, but are unsure how to make Zero Trust actionable. Digital transformation is accelerating, with key shifts such as the expanding hybrid workforce and continued migration of applications and data to the cloud. As we make this transformation, information security teams have the opport...

The Biden administration's recent Executive Order on Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity in 2021 has a provision to implement Zero Trust architecture across the federal agencies. Zero Trust was already gaining momentum before this Executive Order, but now it is accelerating. Secure authentication is one critical component of this strategy. Current authentication approaches are badly broken - passwords are longer, more complex, harder to remem...

In the 3rd quarter of 2021, the healthcare industry hit an unfortunate milestone of recording at least one ransomware attack against a healthcare facility every single day. The healthcare sector's widespread use of legacy devices and massive amounts of stored Protected Healthcare Information (PHI), makes the industry an environment ripe for threat actors. As the industry emerges from the shadow of the COVID-19 global pandemic, healthcare and p...

The nation’s defense systems and capabilities are challenged as never before-- on the ground, in the air, on the seas, in cyberspace and real space. The military must rise to those challenges on all those fronts to ensure the nation is secure. Information technology remains warfighters’ and defenders’ powerful primary tool for their jobs. From cloud computing, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, to machine learning and...

Most people in government would confirm that cybersecurity is their #1 priority right now. A hybrid work environment with its enlarged attack surface and a continuing escalation in the number and sophistication of attacks put the systems and the data that resides on them at an uncomfortable level of risk. The administration is providing new policy guidance with an executive order on cybersecurity that emphasizes Zero Trust architecture, new gu...

The increased risk of cyber-attacks targeting Operational Technology (OT) systems and third-party remote access has skyrocketed in our new hybrid world. Agencies working in converged IT/OT industrial environments must achieve complete visibility, security, and control of operations, and they must understand what third-party vendors (suppliers/contractors) and internal privileged users (operators/admins/remote workers) are doing with their acce...

The Cybersecurity Executive Order released in May 2021 uses the word “data” more than two dozen times, referring to both data generated by the mandated cybersecurity measures and the government’s data more broadly. This increases the requirements for agencies to identify, classify, manage, and protect all their data, with particular emphasis on sensitive data. This webinar will feature thought leaders from government and indu...

K-12 schools asked and we listened. Finally, cyber threat and data loss prevention intertwined with student safety delivered as a cloud-native SaaS solution. Join Zscaler and Saasyan on March 10th, and see how they are revolutionizing online student safety with comprehensive inline detection and prevention of cyber bullying and self-harm activity. In this webinar, you'll learn more about: How the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange utilizes its indust...

Zero trust is at the cornerstone of every agency’s cybersecurity plan. You didn't need the Cybersecurity Executive Order (EO 14028) to mandate it. Yet it raises many questions, despite reams of guidance from NIST, CISA, and OMB. With the recent release of OMB’s Zero Trust Strategy, agencies have a clearer roadmap on the technologies needed and path they need to take. Like any other major transformation, to succeed, each agency is c...

Registration Closed The new Presidential Executive Order has increased emphasis on advancing toward “Zero-Trust Architecture” and “Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)”, and moving systems to FedRAMP clouds. Additionally, NIST has released the finals of many Risk Management Framework (RMF) standards (SP800-53 Rev 5 – Security Controls, SP800-53B – Security Control Baselines, Privacy Framework, SP800-160 Vol...
