Zero Trust offers a powerful framework for reducing risk and improving resilience, yet it remains widely misunderstood. Many organizations believe they're implementing Zero Trust while deploying fragmented solutions or single policies without a cohesive strategy or measurable outcomes. Results inevitably fall short of expectations, creating confusion, skepticism, and stalled progress in critical areas like micro-segmentation and continuous monitoring. 

Gigamon's Public Sector Field CTO and Security CTO will discuss overcoming these challenges by aligning ZT strategies with the network using real-world examples. ZTA deployments within the US Federal government present ideal use cases because of strong policy mandates, mission-critical security requirements, and a robust partner ecosystem.

Ask almost any CISO about their biggest challenges, and managing compliance consistently ranks near the top. The complexity of navigating multiple frameworks, coupled with the high stakes of non-compliance, makes this area particularly intimidating for security leaders. The reality is that achieving and maintaining compliance can be made significantly easier with network telemetry. 

We'll explore several industry and cybersecurity compliance frameworks—examining why they exist, what they require, and who they impact—before demonstrating how network telemetry addresses specific controls more effectively. Through practical examples, attendees will see how leveraging network metadata can simplify compliance processes, improve audit readiness, and deliver faster, more reliable outcomes for critical security requirements.

Decoding the Compliance Puzzle: DORA, HIPAA, NIS2, PCI and Beyond

Guilty until proven innocent—that's where NetOps lands every time an application slows down, followed by hours of investigation to prove that it wasn’t the network. What if Application and Security teams could access the same network insights as NetOps, but within their own SIEM and observability tools?   

End the blame game once and for all by empowering cross-functional teams with shared network intelligence. Shift from reactive firefighting to proactive performance assurance with complete visibility into lateral traffic, including container-to-container and IoT/OT. We’ll show how network telemetry identifies anomalies including port spoofing and unsanctioned AI usage. Teams also have the “evidence” needed for fast and accurate root cause analysis. Turn the network from the leading suspect to your best detective.

Is it Always the Network's Fault? What the Evidence Reveals

Network visibility is essential for maintaining performance, ensuring compliance, and strengthening security across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
