Session: Three warnings. Two cyber threats. One mandate. Zero Trust.
This shift of the global workforce looks to be a permanent change. Despite widespread Zoom fatigue, it seems like users generally like it. The move to cloud and hybrid IT environments—along with increasing numbers of cloud-based systems, remote workers, and connected devices—are constantly expanding and dissolving the network perimeter. It wasn’t that long ago that a typical user would enter a building, go to a workstation, login and access everything they needed via on-premises servers. As digital strategy and cloud adoption increased, the way in which users accessed their IT resources is changing. The anticipated growth of smart devices, 5G, edge computing, and artificial intelligence promises to create even more data, connected nodes, and expanded attack surfaces.And the shift also comes with a mandate: Do more than enable work for anyone, from anywhere; ensure that it’s secure. That’s no small task. At a time with reports of security threats increasing by 400% compared to pre-pandemic levels, IT teams must be more prepared than ever.
Zero Trust means “Trust Nothing, Verify Everything.” This talk will lay out the future of work through a Zero Trust framework designed to meet modern cyber security demands. Some people mistakenly think Zero Trust is about making a system trusted, but it really involves eliminating the concept of trust from cybersecurity strategy. By doing this, every user, packet, network interface, and device is granted the same default trust level: zero.
Shifting toward a Zero Trust approach to cybersecurity can enhance security posture and minimize data risk. Foundational capabilities such as IT asset management and data governance are important to fully realize the benefits of this approach. The talk will explain why organizations should have an understanding of what data exists and the appropriate security controls to protect it. Aligning to Zero Trust also signals organizational commitment to a more proactive approach to cyber defense, which is another driver considering the prevalence of remote work.
Adoption does demand a shift in skillset of practitioners needed to drive adoption of Zero Trust in a meaningful way. Zero trust is a journey best taken one step at a time. This is transformational change. During this talk, you’ll learn how to help your security team and organization migrate their most critical assets to the Zero Trust environment.

- Two cyber threats - Remote work and digital transformation
