One of the top cybersecurity concerns in 2023 is supply chain security for software. Risks can include insertion of counterfeits, unauthorized production, tampering, theft, insertion of malicious software and hardware, as well as poor manufacturing and development practices in the cybersecurity-related elements of the supply chain. The recently released NIST Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Management (C-SCRM) program helps agencies manage the...

The emphasis on implementing zero trust architectures throughout federal networks is intended to reinforce the Government’s defenses against increasingly sophisticated and persistent threat campaigns. This focus represents a major step forward in strengthening agencies’ cybersecurity – and provides the opportunity to enhance cybersecurity within those networks through microsegmentation. Application segmentation is a component...

Global economic activity has slowed, but the slowdown is neither homogeneous nor simultaneous across sectors and regions. Near-term risks are skewed to the upside: Europe has avoided a near-term cost-of-living crisis; China is pivoting away from its zero-COVID policy; and the US is seeing resilience in employment and consumer spending. At the same time, global inflation is moderating but remains elevated. As such, central banks will remain on...

Cybersecurity is usually framed in terms of IT – from malware to phishing to ransomware, federal agencies are paying attention to securing their networks and endpoints. But leaders often overlook security measures for operational technology (OT) and industrial control systems (ICS), such as building automation systems, physical access control systems, physical environment monitoring systems, and implementing a zero trust architecture. In...

This event provides participants with practical insight from Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) leaders. The workshop includes presentations as well as facilitated table discussions, where we move from academic discussions to "how-to" explanations and examples. The small, facilitated groups enhance opportunities for both hands-on work and Q&A.

DESCRIPTION: Climate change is a local, national and global challenge. It affects our health and well-being, our critical infrastructure, and our future generations. The World Health Organization has underscored that climate change is the single biggest health threat facing humanity, affecting social and environmental determinants of health, to include clean air, safe drinking water, sufficient food, and secure shelter. Climate change adaptati...

The advent of the pandemic in early 2020 demonstrates the truth of the old saying, “necessity is the mother of invention.” State and local governments that had been hesitant to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in their IT suddenly had to cope with huge citizen demand for services such as unemployment assistance, while simultaneously providing the capability for their own employees to work remotely. A sur...

Listen in to gain insight on why the opening line of the newly published Department of Defense (DoD) Zero Trust Strategy should be a warning to all: “Our adversaries are in our networks, exfiltrating our data, and exploiting the Department’s users.” In its roadmap for the future, the ZT PfMO identified multiple targets across the seven tenets of Zero Trust. In the Application and Workload tenet, the ZT PfMO targeted: Applicat...
