In an era defined by asymmetric threats and digital-first warfare, defending national security demands more than firewalls and checkbox compliance. It requires trust, identity, and provable action. This powerhouse session will explore how Zero Trust architecture, identity management, and CMMC compliance are converging to reshape the defense and federal cyber landscape.

The session will tackle pressing questions:

• What role does identity play in modern cyber deterrence?
• How do we move from policy to provable security¿and what metrics actually matter?
• Where should government enforce, and where must industry lead the charge?
