Join us for an in-depth discussion on how Symantec Identity Security Platform (IDSP) helps organizations strengthen security, simplify identity and access management (IAM), and accelerate Zero Trust initiatives. Learn how a cloud-native, security-first platform enables enterprises to modernize authentication, improve visibility, and reduce operational complexity across the identity ecosystem.

During this webinar, you'll learn how to:

• Advance zero trust initiatives by strengthening identity assurance and enforcing adaptive access controls
• Reduce identity risk through multi-factor, passwordless, and risk-based authentication capabilities
• Simplify enterprise IAM with a cloud-native platform designed to streamline identity operations
• Improve visibility and control across users, devices, applications, and authentication events
• Enhance user experiences while maintaining strong security policies and governance
• Support IAM maturity goals with a scalable platform built for today's hybrid and multi-cloud environments

Cyber attacks and data breaches are on the rise and continue to pose serious threats to our digital economy. Many are aware of cyber threats from human sources, but not many are talking about the security threat posed with unmanaged autonomous AI agents.

In response, state and local agencies are looking to incorporate controls for AI into their cybersecurity measures.

According to the Code for America assessment, almost all 50 states have initiated pilot programs for a wide range of programs, with leaders like New Jersey and Pennsylvania operating AI at scale. But those governments continue to grapple with legacy system modernization and data cleanup, which are critical to ensure AI tools function securely and accurately without exposing siloed information.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the nature of the cyber threats your agency faces and which ones are using AI to find weaknesses
• Review the steps to take a pilot project and replicate it at scale across your agency
• Evaluate your legacy system modernization and data cleanup programs to identify where AI tools can streamline processes and cut costs
• Outline the ways other state and local agencies have addressed these challenges

Organizations can no longer rely on tool count as a measure of security maturity. As ransomware-as-a-service operators, identity-focused attackers, and supply chain adversaries increasingly target mid-market and resource-constrained organizations, security teams are being asked to defend against enterprise-grade threats without enterprise-scale resources. At the same time, cyber insurance requirements, customer security assessments, and regulatory expectations continue to raise the bar for demonstrable detection and response capabilities.

This webcast explores why the traditional tool-first approach to security operations is failing resource-constrained teams and what modern detection and response programs must do instead. SANS Senior Instructor Rich Greene will examine how organizations can shift from fragmented security tooling toward a telemetry-driven operating model centered on visibility, correlation, automation, and continuous validation. Rather than focusing on individual products, this approach emphasizes the disciplines required to detect and respond to real-world adversary behavior across interconnected environments.

What You Will Learn

• Why ransomware affiliates and supply chain attackers increasingly target resource-constrained organizations
• How security teams can move beyond disconnected tools to achieve meaningful telemetry fusion across endpoint, identity, network, SaaS, and cloud environments
• Why ATT&CK-based detection coverage provides a more effective measure of defensive capability than alert volume or vendor signature counts
• How to implement a practical four-phase operating model built around audit, consolidation, automation, and validation
• What low-regret automation looks like and how organizations can safely pre-authorize response actions for high-confidence threats

Modern detection and response requires more than additional tools—it requires the ability to correlate telemetry, detect adversary behavior, automate appropriate response actions, and continuously validate effectiveness against evolving threats. By understanding how these disciplines work together, security leaders can improve resilience, strengthen operational efficiency, and build a more defensible security program even with limited resources. 

Data flows continue to increase in complexity as enterprise architectures continue to change and mature. Data flows have expanded across cloud platforms, on-premises systems, collaboration tools, and increasingly, AI/ML pipelines. Yet the security controls designed to protect it haven’t evolved at the same pace—leading to fragmented data loss prevention (DLP) coverage, increased operational complexity, and growing risk.

Join us on September 10, 2026 at 10:30 AM EDT for a SANS Security Lab featuring Certified SANS Instructor Kevin Garvey and Broadcom’s Security Strategist, Alejandro Loza. Together, they will examine where traditional DLP approaches fall short and explore practical strategies for protecting data across today’s hybrid and AI-driven environments.

Through expert discussion and live demonstration, they’ll break down key challenges facing security teams, including data sprawl, tool fragmentation, and protecting sensitive information at the application layer and within emerging AI workflows.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Evaluate modern approaches to DLP across distributed environments
• Reduce operational overhead while improving visibility
• Address evolving risks in SaaS applications and AI pipelines
• Communicate data protection priorities effectively to stakeholders

The session will include brief; illustrative examples of how these concepts can be applied in practice.

The federal government is in the midst of an ongoing transformation with a premium placed on adopting the most modern commercial technologies and driving efficiency on the journey to service delivery and mission success. Guided by the top priorities of the White House, leaders across the federal government are embracing advanced technologies like generative AI and the cloud, fortifying cybersecurity by shifting to zero-trust architectures and embracing post-quantum cryptography, and prioritizing user experience in digital services. Join us for FedTalks 2026 in Washington, D.C. Hosted by FedScoop, FedTalks is the largest annual gathering of C-level executives, leaders and innovators from the government and tech communities. Now in its 16th year, FedTalks brings together more than 1,000 of the country’s most influential leaders for one day of discussion, exploring ways technology and people can transform government and our nation.
