- 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Zero Trust is a key component of every federal IT initiative and modernization effort. The Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity, the CISA Zero Trust Maturity Model, the DISA Zero Trust Architecture, and various NIST guidance all include mission critical elements for zero trust implementation. Although the principals of Zero Trust are widely accepted, the implementation process is a detailed, time-consuming, and agency wide process. This virtual workshop will focus on the ‘how to’ and Zero Trust lessons learned to date.
