Safeguarding Critical Infrastructure

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.

Build a Unified, Comprehensive Zero Trust Solution

Description:
As agencies forge ahead in their cloud security and resilience journeys, they must consider what gaps have been filled and what remain to cover. Many turn to frameworks such as the five pillars of Zero Trust in CISA’s Zero Trust Maturity Model. In this panel, agency leaders will share how they incorporate these pillars – identity, devices, network, data, and applications and workloads – into their everyday cloud security frameworks, and where they see the most important remaining gaps and risks across hybrid infrastructure.

Zero Trust in Multi-cloud Environments

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.

Presenters:
[Moderator] John Quezada, Senior Solutions Engineer and SE Manager, Public Sector Civilian, Gigamon
Heather Dyer, Vice President, Chief Information Security Officer, United States Postal Service

At the Intersection of IT and OT, Bridging the Zero Trust Gap

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.

Practical and Achievable: Real-World Advice on Zero Trust

Cybersecurity is a critical priority at the Department of Justice (DOJ), where we are committed to both enhancing cybersecurity and fighting cybercrime. The agency is in the midst of a three-year IT strategic plan that includes its journey to zero trust, and in this keynote address, DOJ Chief Information Officer and Deputy Assistant Attorney General Melinda Rogers will highlight DOJ’s progress toward zero trust thus far. She’ll discuss the importance of industry partnerships and offer insights into next steps for zero trust adoption and how to strengthen cyber resilience to secure government into the future.

Policy, Perspective, and Progress Toward Zero Trust

Making security systems more effective with less cost

Ransomware is a devastating cyberthreat that continues to grow and wreak havoc throughout all industries. CISOs have a deep desire to protect against every threat they possibly can, and eliminate every potential blind spot, but rarely have unlimited budget, time, and people to do so. In this webinar, hear from Michael Dickman, Chief Product Officer at Gigamon, and Alan Weckel, Co-Founder and Analyst at the 650 Group, about how you can uplevel your defense against ransomware while keeping costs in check.

- Walk away understanding how to detect encrypted lateral movement from a threat actor 
- Take SIEMs, NDRs, IDSs, and Firewalls to the next level

5 Pragmatic Tips for Preventing Ransomware

Organizations are exploring solutions to fortify their security posture as the threat landscape becomes more sophisticated and the number of breaches skyrockets. As teams look for new solutions, the challenge remains:   

How does an organization secure network traffic once it crosses a firewall and becomes East-West traffic?  

Join us to learn how you can build a security posture that combines firewalls with E-W visibility to enable successful detection and response of security issues.  

In this webinar, you will:   
- Learn the importance of integrating East-West visibility into your security posture  
- Discover the tools you need to effectively analyze East-West traffic  
- Understand how to create a scalable security posture that combines covers North-South, East-West, and encrypted traffic

Why Firewalls Are No Longer Enough

As hybrid cloud architectures become the new normal for enterprises and government organizations, many IT and Security leaders struggle with maintaining the balance of meeting business demands for faster application development and deployment with the need to maintain and enhance their hybrid cloud security posture.  

Is achieving such a balance possible?  

Join us to learn how Micron Technologies successfully fortified their security posture as they rapidly scaled their usage of virtual and containerized environments to support new applications. In this webinar, you will:

Ensuring Security for Hybrid Cloud Companies

Regardless of which Zero Trust model you are utilizing, there are some universal solutions that will be common amongst them. Threat actors are observed using the same tactics and techniques over and over again. In this presentation, we will briefly examine two top models and then explore what that means on a practical level. We will broadly look at some traditional network visibility solutions and challenge some of the norms around these systems. Do they really solve the problem in the best way in a world where everything is encrypted and threat actors hide in plain sight? 

Key takeaways:  
- Can classic tools such as logging really solve for the visibility gap? 
- How to deal with the encryption/decryption paradox? 
- What method can solve for lateral visibility?

Navigating M-21-31 Compliance

Observability provides enormous business value, but organizations that implement it often suffer from data collection sprawl, and incomplete network application visibility. This discussion will focus on how Gigamon improves the value of SIEM and Observability tools by adding Network Intelligence and more to the toolset.

Join host Jon Brown, Senior Analyst – Observability at Enterprise Strategy Group and Martyn Crew, Senior Director at Gigamon as they discuss:
• What network intelligence brings to observability
• Where is observability creating the most business value?
• What’s the role of deep observability in Zero Trust?

What Gigamon Brings to Observability

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.

Building the Plane While Flying

Encrypted lateral traffic: Is there a bigger blind spot? We can only search where the light shines, not where we lost that proverbial key. The shadows today’s hybrid-cloud digital infrastructure provides a hiding space for both threat actors and pesky app troubleshooting issues.  

Do any of these apply to your organization? 
- Lack of network traffic visibility into east-west, lateral virtual traffic, including container pod-pod or client-server communications. 
- No practical way to decrypt that traffic, especially TLS 1.3. 
- Current SIEMs and observability tools cannot see and run analytics on unmanaged host communications. 
- Tools cannot ingest network packets because of capability, capacity, and cost challenges. 
- App owners resist agents in their apps and workloads. 
 
You will get a behind the curtain look at this new technology and see a demo of emerging real-life use cases that are just now coming to light. Join us for a view into the future of security and operations.

The Department of Defense is 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, Chief Zero Trust Office of the Department of Defense, 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 Target Level Zero Trust across the DoD by 2027.

Next Steps in the DoD’s Advance Toward Zero Trust

Building defenses, protecting our walls and guarding the castle. They all sounded a lot easier when the castle walls were solid, clear and defined. These days, it can feel a bit more like you are jousting in fog to protect borders you can’t see or define. Not only are bad actors evolving, but the cloud environments you are asked to protect and secure are rapidly multiplying and becoming more complex. It is time to get out of the fog and stop jousting with air!
