The Department of Defense is marching toward Zero Trust, following review of their implementation plans by the Defense Department (DoD) Zero Trust Portfolio Management Office (ZTMPMO) in fall 2023. Their progress will not be in lockstep, but their objectives are aligned. In this keynote address, Randy Resnick, Chief Zero Trust Office of the Department of Defense, will review the process and lessons learned, outline agency priorities for 2024 as adversarial behavior escalates, and provide a candid assessment of the obstacles that must be overcome to reach Target Level Zero Trust across the DoD by 2027.

Most enterprises today have one, two, or even three public clouds and a private cloud, plus traditional bare metal workloads. In these complex environments, security can be elusive. Gigamon research found, for example, that half of IT and security leaders worldwide are confident in their security from on-premises infrastructure to the cloud, yet 94 percent experienced a data breach in the last 18 months. In this keynote address, Michael Dickman, Gigamon’s chief product officer, provides insight into why security is so elusive today, as well as the innovative cybersecurity approaches that are enabling organizations to thwart evolving cyber threats, gain visibility into their environments, and extend Zero Trust from the data center to the cloud and the edge. […]

Zero Trust is a complex and moving target. Threats are constantly changing, and the tools in the security stack are constantly evolving. Through pilots, prototypes, and partnerships, industry and government are working together to develop validated solutions that can simplify and speed Zero Trust implementation. This panel discussion will assess their efforts to “build the plane while flying” and offer guidance that can help agencies reduce Zero Trust complexity. […]

Cybersecurity is a critical priority at the Department of Justice (DOJ), where we are committed to both enhancing cybersecurity and fighting cybercrime. The agency is in the midst of a three-year IT strategic plan that includes its journey to zero trust, and in this keynote address, DOJ Chief Information Officer and Deputy Assistant Attorney General Melinda Rogers will highlight DOJ’s progress toward zero trust thus far. She’ll discuss the importance of industry partnerships and offer insights into next steps for zero trust adoption and how to strengthen cyber resilience to secure government into the future. […]

Agencies must manage significant technical and organizational risks as they pursue zero trust, including legacy system integration, technical blind spots, and stagnant budgets and staffing levels. In this panel discussion, industry thought leaders will offer practical advice to help agencies with limited resources maximize impact and minimize risk as they move to a Zero Trust architecture.

No agency wants to rip and replace existing solutions that support Zero Trust goals. Integration of existing and complementary capabilities is key to the creation of a unified Zero Trust solution that spans on-premises and cloud infrastructure, applications, and services across the five Zero Trust pillars and three cross-cutting capabilities. In this panel discussion, industry experts will outline how they come together to help agencies fully leverage existing solutions to achieve an ‘assume breach’ mindset, enterprise-wide visibility, and a comprehensive Zero Trust reference architecture.

Critical infrastructure houses our nation’s most crucial assets, making it a prime target for adversaries. To address this threat, robust cybersecurity measures are necessary. In this panel, we’ll hear how Congress has worked together to pass legislation and policy that bolster our nation’s cybersecurity efforts and safeguard crucial assets. The discussion will shed light on recent incidents involving critical infrastructure, including the recent AT&T outage, and will also highlight the work that remains. […]

Critical infrastructure and industrial organizations depend on operational technology (OT) to execute, monitor, and control physical processes. In today’s threat environment, IT is needed to configure and manage OT devices and collect data about OT operations to ensure enterprise-wide cybersecurity. As organizations work to implement Zero Trust, the necessary intersection of IT and OT introduces complexity and opportunity. This cross-industry panel will discuss the organizational and technical changes required to implement Zero Trust across IT and OT and their challenges and successes along the way. […]

As agencies forge ahead in their cloud security and resilience journeys, they must consider what gaps have been filled and what remain to cover. Many turn to frameworks such as the five pillars of Zero Trust in CISA’s Zero Trust Maturity Model. In this panel, agency leaders will share how they incorporate these pillars – identity, devices, network, data, and applications and workloads – into their everyday cloud security frameworks, and where they see the most important remaining gaps and risks across hybrid infrastructure.
