Aligning ICAM, the Executive Order, and Zero Trust for the Defense Department Jun 17, 2022

Show notes

In our rapidly changing digital world, agencies must evolve security strategies. A goal of Zero Trust is to create a security and network architecture that is dynamic, adaptable, and protected. The Executive Order on Cybersecurity has moved the term “Zero Trust” from a buzzword to a much-needed baseline for action planning around how we secure agency data and systems. Agencies must leverage Zero Trust principles to never trust, always verify, and only allow access when contextual parameters are met. Identity sits at the heart of Zero Trust. In a perimeter-less world, agencies must protect identities to stop adversaries from getting into our networks, moving laterally, escalating privileges, and ultimately accessing and manipulating our data. Leveraging ICAM and robust identity security strategies enables agencies to move from a network-based approach to a data-centric approach to defending systems.

Join government security experts for a discussion to understand:

Why Privileged Access Management (PAM) is essential to major DoD initiatives like ICAM, Thunderdome, and Zero Trust
How ICAM supports the Executive Order
The Defense Department’s outlook on data-centric security and defending agency systems
The path to secure modernization using Least Privilege

Zero Trust and Your Agency: What It Will Take to Put Theory Into Practice with AvePoint Jun 16, 2022

Show notes

Zero Trust is essential for modern security architecture and a core protection framework for agile growth. Unlike old models that assume a level of trust once an asset is approved, Zero Trust never stops reviewing the asset as a potential threat. With this framework in mind, the White House released a new Executive Order to implement Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) strategies across all federal agencies by the end of the Fiscal Year 2024.
