Panel: Zero Trust and the Federal Identity-Centric Security Roadmap

In today’s digital world, identity is the new perimeter. To meet the access and usability demands of modern users, agencies are moving towards a more robust and comprehensive security posture that’s centered around the zero-trust principle of “never trust, always verify.” This requires agencies to ensure the RIGHT people have access to the RIGHT data, at the RIGHT time, only when needed or contextual parameters are met.

Tune into this panel to hear from topic experts as they explore how the Federal Identity-Centric Security Roadmap fits in with the advancement of Zero Trust Security. What does the concept of never trust, always verify mean? What are some best practices for verifying users in your network? What challenges have these topic experts experienced as they incorporate Zero Trust within their Federal Identity-Centric Security Roadmap? What solutions have these topic experts come up with?

Panel: Take Control of Privileged Access Before Attackers Do

Privileged Access Management (PAM) controls are essential to explore when building any Zero Trust security posture. Almost every attack today involves a stolen identity or privilege to execute and initially compromise an environment, or to move laterally within a network.

Applying the principle of least privilege (PoLP) is a powerful and well-recognized way to secure agency systems. It ensures elevated access is only given when contextual parameters are met and is immediately revoked after the activity is performed or the context has changed.

Tune into this panel as  security experts to discuss how PAM controls can help minimize your agency’s attack surface and cyber risk, while also empowering agency program requirements such as ICAM and Secure Data Sharing. What best practices do these topic experts have for using PAM to build Zero Trust Architecture? What does this look like?

Panel: Intelligently Manage Access with Identity Centric Security

The seismic shift to distributed workforces has dissolved the federal government’s traditional network perimeter and put a focus on a new critical aspect of cybersecurity: identity management. With users and devices now accessing critical information, systems, and applications from anywhere, the mindset must be to never trust and always verify. In this new environment, a zero trust approach can help agencies minimize their attack surface and cyber risk.

 Tune into this panel to hear from topic experts on how to build an effective zero trust approach with an emphasis on identity and privileged access management. How does identity and privileged access management align with and enable Zero Trust? How does Zero Trust help agencies achieve ICAM Cybersecurity goals?
