Accelerating Zero Trust and anti-ransomware strategies for protecting mission-critical applications and infrastructure for safer, more secured government networks
Zero Trust is a strategic approach to cybersecurity that secures an organisation by eliminating implicit trust and continuously validating every stage of digital interaction. It’s a way for government agencies and departments to build resilience in their IT environments.

Public sector agencies are modernising their IT systems to better serve their missions and citizens. While advancements have been made in cloud and IOT – fuelled by COVID-19 – cyber defence, detection, and recovery capabilities have not kept up.

Public sector organisations need to take advantage of new technologies to improve their cybersecurity and supply chain while centralising visibility and operational control over national information technology.

Both the United States and the United Kingdom have recently called for a move to a Zero Trust approach to security and outlined Zero Trust architecture design principles in an effort to modernise and improve their national cybersecurity.

We will be discussing:
• Improving national cybersecurity and acceleration of the Zero Trust strategy as a critical component
• Implementing an end-to-end cybersecurity portfolio to control and manage the networks, critical infrastructure, and sensitive data
• Recommendations designed to help you prevent, detect, respond to and recover from ransomware so that you can minimise the impact and resume business operations
• Improving threat detection and sharing threat information
• Securing and monitoring workloads in the cloud
• Uncovering the best strategies to reduce the attack surface
• Closing the gap between the government’s mandate to secure, defend and monitor its broad digital footprint and the disparate technologies currently in place
• Understanding how Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) technologies dramatically reduce the attack surface
