Embracing the Future of Cybersecurity: Zero Trust in all its Richness

Recent years have seen a surge in cybersecurity approaches driven by changes in malicious actor behavior, innovation and the complexity of modern IT enterprises. The expansion of cloud environments in defense agencies emphasizes the need to maximize their value, as relying on a single cloud can hinder innovation, increase costs and limit options for federal applications.

Red Hat's Chief Architect and Security Strategist, Michael Epley, session was on implementing Zero Trust, covering the definition of trust and its translation into enforceable policies. The discussion explored implementation techniques across domains, offering insights into effective Zero Trust deployment and providing examples of technologies, patterns, and anti-patterns.

Attendees learned how:

Converting various cybersecurity principles into architectures that achieve goals – showing why Zero Trust Architectures (ZTA) are so central
Implementation techniques and approaches seen with today’s technologies and systems and applied the classical domains like data, network or compute
New approaches to how we identify, avoid and accommodate cautions, risks and concerns
A speculative look into the future and what is still needed to achieve the dynamic and contextual security that is needed to adapt to current cybersecurity
