Zero Trust in Practice: Lessons from Public-Private Frontlines
All event times are U.S. Eastern time
As cyber threats grow more persistent and perimeter-based defenses continue to fall short, Zero Trust has become the cornerstone of modern cybersecurity strategy. This annual virtual workshop brings together leaders from both government and industry to share lessons from real-world Zero Trust implementations. Attendees will gain insight into how organizations are operationalizing Zero Trust principles to secure hybrid environments, protect sensitive data, and reduce attack surfaces.
The program will cover recent developments including guidance from CISA’s Zero Trust Architecture Implementation Report and maturity benchmarks that emphasize operational integration, continuous validation, and secure application-level segmentation. Whether you’re refining your roadmap or scaling deployment, this virtual workshop will equip you with actionable strategies to advance Zero Trust maturity across public and private ecosystems.
