With nation-state and criminal adversaries in attack mode and putting an ever-higher premium on cyber resilience, some of the best practitioners on the Federal cybersecurity landscape are gathering online at the Rubrik Public Sector Summit on Oct. 8 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern time to explore the next steps toward stronger resilience, and you are invited to join.
Here is what’s in play right now in the Federal government cybersecurity space that makes fresh intelligence on threats, defenses, and resiliency steps an absolute necessity:
Governments at every level are rallying around the cause of protecting election infrastructure, with Federal intelligence and law enforcement agencies issuing new updates every week and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) working overtime.
China-based hacking groups like Volt Typhoon are targeting critical infrastructure sectors in the U.S. and overseas by assembling botnets comprised of hundreds of thousands of hijacked devices, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is fighting back.
CISA is putting government cyber resilience in the spotlight with its new FCEB Operational Cybersecurity Alignment (FOCAL) Plan that aims to align collective operational defense capabilities across the Federal government and drive down cybersecurity risks to more than 100 Federal civilian agencies.
Big Tech execs are doing their part but also cautioning of the approaching onslaught of artificial intelligence (AI)-driving misinformation.
And at the bedrock level of Federal government cybersecurity – the migration to zero trust security architectures – agencies are getting solid grades to mark their third year on that never-ending journey to improving security.
Here are some of the experts who you can expect to hear from at the Oct. 8 Rubrik Public Sector Summit which focuses on the theme “From Reactive to Ready: Building a Cyber Resilient Future”:
