Synopsis and overview of the session
Zero trust is a simple concept – don’t trust anyone; verify everyone; do it continually – with a more complex goal of ensuring the right people have the right level of access to the right resources in the right context.
While quite a few of the agencies have implemented security solutions mapping to this modern mindset, the majority haven’t outlined a clear Zero Trust initiative fit for cloud, hybrid cloud, and multi-cloud demands.
Focus Network, in partnership with Okta will be bringing leading IT Security executives to discuss the following:
- Why is Zero Trust so important for cybersecurity?
- How can Zero Trust decrease cyber incidents while increasing workforce productivity
- What steps you can take immediately to help your agency secure against the identity-driven threats
- Share some results from our brand new state of zero trust report
