Forty-seven military services and defense agencies are 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, director of the ZTPMO, 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 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. […]

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 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. […]

Leading cloud service providers (CSPs) are applying Zero Trust principles and a variety of technologies and processes to secure their services. In this panel discussion, learn about CSPs’ varying approaches to Zero Trust, discover where cloud security gaps and risks may lurk, and see how deep network visibility enables comprehensive Zero Trust across on-premises and multi-cloud environments.
