Agenda:

Panel: Securing the Cloud Through Zero Trust
As agencies look to replace legacy systems with the cloud, Zero Trust has risen as a best cybersecurity practice. Listen in as topic experts discuss the shift to a teleworking workforce and the importance behind Zero Trust security. This shift has triggered new cybersecurity strategies within the Federal Government, especially as Government agencies make the migration to the cloud.

In what ways has Zero Trust security helped to secure the cloud? Why is it important to protect the data stored within the cloud? Federal IT leaders will discuss the process of securing the cloud through Zero Trust and explain the importance of doing so within the Federal Government. Listen in as panelists also discuss how Federal Agencies and cloud service providers can work together to enhance security, and why it’s important to focus on protecting data instead of the network.

Panel: Advancing Federal Cybersecurity to Protect Against Cyber-Attacks
As new technologies are being implemented and deployed throughout the Federal Government, agencies are having to take a step back and ensure their systems are secure. Listen into this panel to hear from topic experts on best practices to enable enterprises to adopt new connected devices without fear of compromise by cyber-attack. What are some best strategies for discovering devices, tracking behavior, detecting threats, and taking action to protect their enterprise?

Hear from topic experts as they dive into the best practices for securing their agency’s IoT and their legacy systems. What emerging technologies will help these agencies ensure their systems will be protected against cyber-attacks? What does it look like for an agency to adopt and implement these new ways to protect against cyber threats?

Panel: Embracing a Zero Trust Security Model
Zero Trust security is led by the principle of “never trust, always verify.” It is a framework of policies, technologies, and systems that are applied to users and devices. Tune into this panel as topic experts dive into the importance of Zero Trust security, what it means to the Federal Government, and how best to embrace this model of security. Listen in as panelists dive into what can be addressed with a Zero Trust Architecture. What best strategies do these topic experts have on implementing this security model, as well as getting the most out of it?
