There is no single, universal blueprint for Zero Trust. Federal requirements such as EO 14028, NSM-8 and the National Cybersecurity Strategy mandate a Zero Trust transition, and agencies must also navigate guidance from DoD, CISA, NIST and OMB. The result is often a patchwork of point solutions and custom approaches—ones that may be difficult to scale and can unintentionally create new security gaps.

At the same time, emerging technologies like quantum computing and AI are accelerating the need for Zero Trust. Understanding how Zero Trust aligns with these trends is essential for building a security posture that can withstand the next wave of technological change.

This webinar will cut through the complexity and outline the top five best practices for successfully implementing Zero Trust. Attendees will learn how to build a coherent, sustainable strategy that aligns with federal expectations, reduces risk and strengthens security posture across the enterprise.

It has taken very little time for AI’s risks to emerge. According to Verizon’s 19^th annual Data Breach Investigations Report, AI is fundamentally remodeling cyber security in real time, for everyone to see.

The benefits of AI take longer to manifest. Today’s government agencies find themselves managing a hybrid AI approach, balancing a mix of hosted provider models (like OpenAI and AWS Bedrock), open-source self-hosted models, and organization-specific fine-tuned models. When an organization scales AI, they don’t just use one model; they use a hybrid ecosystem. This is one area where AI’s protective capabilities can come into play.

Learning Objectives:

• Assess how your organization governs user access and identity controls across multiple AI models, platforms, and services within a Zero Trust framework
• Identify gaps in visibility, monitoring, and policy enforcement across AI endpoints, APIs, and models, and outline strategies to improve consistency and oversight
• Delineate safeguards and access controls that help prevent sensitive data exposure when employees and contractors interact with external AI services and generative AI tools
