Enabling Agencies to “Know it All” – The Role of Zero Trust Access
Tracking every device and user on an enterprise network, including IoT devices, is no easy task. Federal agency professionals continually work to prevent non-secure users and unknown devices from attaching to their networks to avoid data breaches, stolen credentials, and mission interruptions. Government cybersecurity professionals increasingly rely on Zero Trust (ZT) approaches to protect their data and computing resources.
In this session, learn more about Zero Trust Architecture (NIST Special Publication 800-207) and how to leverage ZT strategies to see and control all devices and users across enterprise networks with proactive protection from evolving threats.

Secure Modernization – The Only Choice
Strengthening the Federal information and communications infrastructure is essential to our national security and economic prosperity. Consequently, significant resources are being allocated to this effort. How then do agencies tackle the challenges they have long faced– legacy system interoperability, multi-vendor integration, and the rapid evolution of technologies and dynamic cybersecurity threats?
In this session, learn how agencies are taking new approaches, changing organizational cultures, and building confidence in modernized and secure IT architectures. Take away practical information to leverage the latest technologies for automating processes, improving enterprise security, and satisfying the mobile Federal workforce.
