This discussion will explore how organizations are moving beyond perimeter-based models to adopt dynamic\, identity-driven architectures that can that support mission resilience – especially in contested\, disconnected\, intermittent\, and limited (DDIL) environments. From governance\, integration and automation to visibility and enforcement at the tactical edge\, panelists will share how to translate Zero Trust principles into real-world\, scalable outcomes – without disrupting mission performance. \nJoin us for a high-level conversation designed for federal CIOs\, CISOs\, and senior IT leaders charting the path forward.
