About this Webinar:
As Zero Trust continues to shift from policy to practice across the federal government, IT leaders are under pressure to rethink how access, identity, and risk are managed in today’s complex, hybrid environments. 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.
Join us for a high-level conversation designed for federal CIOs, CISOs, and senior IT leaders charting the path forward. This session will offer actionable insights on prioritizing investments, aligning stakeholders, and accelerating Zero Trust maturity—turning mandates into meaningful security transformation across domains and alliances.
