, –pm with Beau Houser, CISO, U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Department of Commerce
Every day, the U.S. Government executes unique and deeply challenging missions to safeguard our nation’s critical infrastructure and provide services to the American people. To deliver on these missions effectively, our nation must make intelligent use of robust security solutions to avoid disruption by malicious cyber campaigns and keep pace with adversaries. Successfully modernizing the Federal Government’s approach to security requires a government-wide endeavor and collaboration between many stakeholders.
With users and devices now accessing critical information, systems, and applications from anywhere in our distributed digital world, the mindset must be to never trust, always verify, and only allow privileged access when needed or contextual parameters are met. Agency modernization, expanding cloud deployments, and distributed workforces create new planes of privilege for adversaries to exploit.
Tune-in to this on-demand webinar with a distinguished panel of Federal cyber experts to understand why identity security is integral to secure adoption of emerging initiatives across government. Our cybersecurity leaders also discuss:
Almost every attack today involves a stolen identity or privilege to execute and initially compromise an environment, or to move laterally within a network. Please listen-in to this engaging session if you are seeking to strengthen your agency’s long-term immunity and resilience against cyber threats.
