High speed networks are the critical foundation that supports many of an agency’s most vital communications and operations. However, this foundation is at risk of surveillance and attack by increasingly sophisticated cyber criminals and well-funded nation states. These network connections, if unprotected, are proving to be highly vulnerable, leaving sensitive assets exposed. So, what is the best way to protect network traffic? Encrypt ev...

In the last five years, OMB and CISA have been expanding the role of Federal cybersecurity programs beyond traditional IT. As the threat has expanded deep into software supply chain, third-parties, IOT/OT and cryptography, understanding where to focus has become more difficult and resource intensive. The CISO and their staff constantly balance mission priorities with zero trust goals, audit findings and modernization efforts while continually...

Attendees who join this webinar will learn about: Zero trust as it applies to federal agency cybersecurity The role integrity plays in enforcing a zero trust approach Methods for achieving integrity using file integrity monitoring (FIM) and security configuration management (SCM)

Cryptography is everywhere. As a key security control that enables privacy, security, and trust in our digital world, it is highly regulated. Yet, after years of being a somewhat sleepy topic in the cybersecurity world, cryptography is now a hot topic in the Public Sector for at least two reasons. First, ongoing migration from FIPS 140-2 to FIPS 140-3 is generating waves of activity to comply with the new NIST standard. As an even larger chall...

How do you use RMF and the budgeting process to ensure your cybersecurity program is successful? What are the impacts on the new Federal Information Security Modernization Act (FISMA) reporting resulting from the new documents released in Fiscal Years 2024 and 2025? Some of the key documents are:Presidential Executive Order 14028: In addition to increased emphasis on advancing toward “Zero-Trust Architecture” and “Endpoint De...
