The federal government has invested almost four years to move all its systems and networks to a zero trust (ZT) architecture, based on the concept of “never trust, always verify.” State and local, territorial, and tribal governments are not bound by the federal agency mandate to implement ZTarchitectures, but there are numerous reasons they are either considering it or taking action to put it in place.
This has significantly improved cybersecurity, but it’s a moving target – bad actors, whether cyber criminals or hostile nation-states, keep evolving their tools and tactics, seeking new vectors they can penetrate. To constantly improve an agency’s risk profile, security professionals at all levels of government must pay attention to trends both in cyber attacks and in new defensive measures.
Join us as thought leaders from government and industry discuss the nuances of implementing a ZT structure, how to strengthen it even more, the challenges they have addressed and the benefits they have seen, and ways to build on it to strengthen cyber protections even more.

Hosted & Moderated By:
The federal government has invested almost four years to move all its systems and networks to a least permissive access architecture, based on the concept of “never trust, always verify.” This has significantly improved cybersecurity, but it’s a moving target – bad actors, whether cyber criminals or hostile nation-states, keep evolving their tools and tactics, seeking new vectors they can penetrate.
To constantly improve an agency’s risk profile, security professionals must pay attention to trends both in cyber attacks and in new defensive measures. For instance, hackers are using AI to help their social engineering efforts, ferreting out and stealing legitimate login credentials.
Join us as thought leaders from government and industry discuss their progress in implementing least-permission and how they are thinking about next steps.

State and local, territorial, and tribal governments are not bound by the federal agency mandate to implement zero trust architectures, but there are numerous reasons they are either considering it or taking action to put it in place.
Zero trust is a particularly important concept for these smaller government bodies because they own and operate critical infrastructure and provide vital day-to-day services to their residents, from issuing driver’s licenses to approving building permits. It also helps these governments comply with various privacy and security regulations, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which protects sensitive health information from being disclosed without the patient’s consent.
Join us as thought leaders from state and local agencies and the cybersecurity industry discuss the nuances of implementing going even further than ZT, to least permissive, the challenges they have addressed and the benefits they have seen, and ways to build on it to strengthen cyber protections even more.
