Federal Insights Exchange: NextGen Security Panel Discussion

This event qualifies for 1 CLPs

The role of Chief Information Security Officer is important making security is front and center in protecting organizations in a post SolarWinds and Log4j world. As the need to share information between different agencies with both connected and disconnected applications increases, agencies need to think beyond DevSecOps and Zero Trust.

The Department of Homeland Security and National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency are leading federal agencies in implementing leading cybersecurity capabilities.
