The White House Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity highlighted the need for a new federal cybersecurity approach, but zero trust isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. For many federal agencies, data quality, standards and governance determine their zero trust readiness. Learn how federal agencies can prepare for a zero trust architecture, starting with data.

As federal agencies continue to develop zero trust architectures and frameworks, accurate and efficient user verification is a key piece to nail down. In environments like health care and law enforcement, speed of verification and layers of privacy protection are even more critical. We’ll talk with federal agencies grappling with these challenges in their mission work and how best practices in ICAM can help.

Federal agencies adopting cloud solutions and integrating new software applications into their cloud-based IT infrastructure need new cyber strategies to secure the software-defined perimeter. The SBOM has emerged as a new way to identify and track potential vulnerabilities in the software supply chain. Hear from cloud and cyber leaders about how they’re using SBOMs and other techniques to secure software applications in the cloud.

Securing cloud user endpoints, such as desktops, laptops and mobile devices, is a major challenge for federal agencies as they move to the cloud and support a distributed workforce. Zero trust principles like ICAM solutions can help, but harmonizing endpoint security goals with mission needs requires flexibility and adaptability. This panel will draw insights on endpoint security in a remote, cloud-based work environment.
