The fourth iteration of the CDM Central conference aired on May 12, 2021. The half-day program brought together government and industry cyber experts for a virtual discussion on, not just the expanding role of CDM, but top of mind cyber issues and initiatives of the new administration. Our virtual event showcased engaging one-on-one cyber chat discussions covering top of mind cyber topics including TIC, cyber automation, zero trust, and the CDM Dashboard, as well exclusive keynotes on increasingly high-profile cybersecurity priorities facing Federal IT.
