Agencies across government have launched multiple initiatives to prepare for the federal workforce of the future. But what does that really look like, and how will it personally affect you? Join Federal News Network for a panel discussion featuring government human capital leaders as we partner with WAEPA for its Annual Members Meeting. Our leading federal workforce reporter, Drew Friedman, will moderate a far-ranging discussion on critical pe...

Insider Risk Programs have continued to evolve naturally over the past 20 years. They have grown exponentially beyond the traditional lens of trying to identify spies through cyber-focused data exfiltration events. Today, Insider Risk Programs have expanded to include internal HR, legal, and compliance stakeholders within organizations and have expanded security beyond strictly physical and cyber domains to now include analysts, investigators,...

In the modern age of cloud migration and deployment, many security and operations teams are having to adapt their controls, processes, and overall strategies to better accommodate hybrid on-premises and cloud environments. While some architecture and control concepts stay relatively static, many don't. So what should organizations do? How can traditional firewalls and cloud-native controls co-exist? What network security controls are most read...

Kaniah Konkoly-Thege and Ryan McKenney from Quantinuum will present on the export control landscape for quantum technologies. In October 2022, the Biden administration introduced semiconductor, artificial intelligence, and supercomputing-related export controls on China and has since made numerous public statements that similar restrictions on quantum technologies may follow. Existing U.S. quantum technology controls target specific end users,...

Cyber criminals have increasingly used ransomware, cloud exploitations, credential theft to test K-12 cyber defenses. These data rich environments require cybersecurity that will secure an organization while taking into account the funding and staff shortages that may face schools. Listen in on one school's cybersecurity mission and successful program as we cover the current K-12 threat landscape before diving into how Portland Public Schools...

Mobile devices are an integral part of an efficient workplace and securing them has become a prevailing concern for individuals and organizations, given their widespread use and the sensitive data they contain. To address these concerns and to provide guidance on how mobile devices can be protected, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed a set of guidelines for managing the security of mobile devices throughout...

One Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) program that has been widely adopted throughout the federal government also is one of its longest-established – the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) program. Introduced in 2012, the program provides a dynamic approach to strengthening the cybersecurity of government networks and systems. The program has evolved over the past decade to add new capabilities, including c...

Alchemy Global Networks recognizes that most Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions face challenges such as poor asset intelligence and immature or nonexistent process workflow automation. These lead to a population of unmanaged systems that render the SIEM an expensive "event collector." The event management system is the "brains" of cloud and/or data center services as it collects, aggregates, and correlates data while re...

The task of identifying relevant vulnerabilities and threats that apply to your installed software—while also determining their impact, urgency and priority—is dynamic and complex. It's a task often shouldered by a security team or individual. But what if there was a way to streamline this process and ensure high-quality deployments with the least risk while also focusing on the applications that must be prioritized to achieve stro...
