In an era of escalating cyber threats, a proactive approach is essential. This panel will highlight how zero trust principles can be augmented by comprehensive visibility and advanced analytics. By monitoring user behaviors, network traffic, and device activities, federal agencies can gain real-time insights into potential threats, swiftly detecting anomalies and unauthorized activities. This approach empowers agencies to respond promptly to s...

In an era where cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated, the need for robust cybersecurity strategies in government IT departments is more pressing than ever. These threats are continuously evolving, leveraging new technologies and exploiting vulnerabilities in innovative ways. As a result, there is an urgent need for IT sectors to adapt and enhance their cybersecurity strategies. This adaptation isn’t just about implementing new te...

Leaders across the federal government are under pressure to deliver on an ever-expanding mission with limited resources. Doing so requires the modernization of systems and processes to connect data, content, and applications to maximize existing infrastructure investments and enhance information availability, value, and security. With countless directives and executive orders on everything from cybersecurity and data sharing to improving the c...

Public sector organizations continue to face a constant barrage of sophisticated cyber threats. And with new cybersecurity mandates and guidance — from recent executive orders to the release of the 2023 National Cyber Strategy — public sector leaders must make considerable decisions about their cyber enterprise that will have lasting impacts for years to come. On top of this, the emergence of novel security capabilities built on ma...

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...

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,...

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...
