Recent Government Accountability Office studies on information technology and information security found that the government’s aging IT infrastructure and systems are becoming increasingly obsolete, costly, and vulnerable. The number of cybersecurity incidents involving the government’s aging systems has grown by 1,120 percent since 2006, leading many major agencies to cite information security as a major management challenge for their organizations.
While the Federal Information Security Modernization Act of 2014 as well as the Modernizing Government Technology Act of 2017 encourage efforts to modernize IT and strengthen cybersecurity, many government agencies are struggling with the increased complexity that emerging technologies like the cloud are creating.
Join this webcast to learn more about strategies to securely moving workloads to the cloud and how an identity-centric approach to security based on Zero Trust principles helps strengthen security and compliance posture alike. During the interactive discussion we’ll cover:
- Perception vs. reality in government security practices
- What are inhibitors of moving to the cloud and how to overcome them
- How to improve cyber resilience for on-prem and cloud environments based on Zero Trust principles
- Why the path to Zero Trust starts with identity
