Compliance, maturity levels, edge computing.

Some people think the television phrase Ron Popeil made famous, “Set it and forget it” applies to Zero Trust. Today’s discussion throws that notion out the window.

Feds At The Edge is taking a deep dive into how an agency can move to the serious, constantly evolving methodology that is Zero Trust Architecture.

Jennifer Franks, Director of Information Technology & Cybersecurity for U.S. GAO reminds listeners of the wealth of reference materials available that supports an agency’s journey to zero trust and shares that leaders should be aware of new revisions to this old concept, including the recent DISA upgrade model that adds more maturity levels.

Wayne Rodgers, Zero Trust lead at the Department of Education walks listeners through those first step stages for agencies who are looking for a good starting point.

And Tony Lauro, Director of Security Strategies with Akamai delves into base concept behind it all – an automated system that can identify threats and provision resources with appropriate access levels that can have nothing to do with the end users acting themselves. He shares, “Security has to work, despite users.”
