Speaker(s)
Description
The purpose of this Panel session is to convey to the AFCEA audience as well as the DoD cybersecurity community a current update of successful, independently assessed Zero Trust (ZT) solutions, capabilities, and lessons learned from the companies and developers who have actually gone through this rigorous assessment process and came out the other side of it achieving Target or Advanced ZT.
This Panel proposal is to hear directly from tech reps from DISA’s Thunderdome, Navy’s Flank Speed, and lastly, Dell’s Project Fort Zero. The Panel would consist of 5 technical representatives with direct experience in the first person, and Mr. Resnick would be the moderator of this Panel.
- Zero Trust cybersecurity has rapidly become a cornerstone of modern cybersecurity strategies. But what does successful ZT implementation actually look like? What did these companies need to do to achieve these successes? This panel discussion brings together leading experts who have recently demonstrated the achievement of Target or Advanced level ZT and are or will soon deliver these ZT solutions as an Industry offering. Panel representatives will share their firsthand experiences, sharing their valuable insights into the challenges, triumphs, and lessons learned along the way. The Panel will explore topics such as:
- Real-world Zero Trust implementation stories: Examining successful case studies and the unique approaches taken by each organization.
- Overcoming common obstacles: Addressing the complexities of legacy systems integration, user training, and achieving buy-in across different stakeholders.
- Measuring the impact of Zero Trust: Discussing the key metrics used to quantify success and demonstrate value to the business.
- Discuss their internal challenges within their own organizations to change culture and obtain the internal resources and their management support required to develop their ZT solution.
- The future of Zero Trust: Exploring emerging trends and technologies shaping the next generation of Zero Trust solutions.
- Interactive Q&A: Providing attendees with an opportunity to engage directly with the panelists and gain practical advice for their own Zero Trust journeys.
This Panel discussion offers a truly unique and very timely opportunity to hear directly from the experiences of seasoned professionals and gain actionable insights for building and implementing effective Zero Trust strategies in your organization. Join us for a lively and informative discussion on the present and future of Zero Trust cybersecurity!
