Zero Trust (ZT) is a cybersecurity framework that automates an organization’s security architecture and orchestrates a response as soon as systems are attacked. This is why ZT is the core of “Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity,” the Executive Order issued in May 2021 requiring agencies to implement a zero trust architecture for their IT systems.

The challenge, however, lies in implementing a complete solution guided by the seven pillars of Zero Trust laid out by the Department of Defense (DoD). The pillars include continuous authentication; comply-to-connect, device detection and compliance; continuous monitoring and ongoing authorization; data encryption and rights management; software-defined networking; policy decision point and policy orchestration; and threat intelligence.

Join us as thought leaders from government and industry discuss the elements that comprise a ZT ecosystem, the role that different technologies play in creating the overall environment, and how they reinforce the resilience of agency systems.
