Zero Trust – What do I need, how do I do it, where do I start?
Organizations are asking these questions as they develop and implement their zero-trust approach to securing their networks. Most organizations understand what is needed from a people side to securing their networks, but they have trouble knowing what to do from a machine-to-machine approach to zero trust. This session will help you focus your efforts on what key capabilities are needed across the five pillars: network/environment, device, application workload, data, and identity. We will cover the abilities of the three foundational steps: visibility and analytics, orchestration and automation, and governance need to provide you to be effective with your machine-to-machine communication. At the end of the session, you will have the foundation for the development of the machine identity management strategy and action plan you need to implement zero-trust so you can build trust with your customers, constituents, partners, and within your organization.
