Certificate-based, multi-factor authentication is a mainstay security technique used by the U.S. Federal Government to ensure the identities of entities within a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). For human users, multi-factor authentication is easily facilitated by using a secure smart card or USB token. But what about non-person entities (NPEs), like devices or software? These entities still must have hardware-secured credentials to meet secur...

High-performance computing (HPC) has long expanded from research labs to commercial use. Computational modeling and simulation along with high-performance data analytics using HPC systems are prevalent in industries from the design and manufacturing of aircrafts to consumer goods, life sciences, energy, and financial services. The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and its symbiotic relationship with HPC has augmented traditional method...

Thank you for attending our Zero Trust - Beyond the Buzzword webinar! During this webinar, you learned: What is Zero Trust and how it applies to data security How digital transformation can make data vulnerable but also more secure. Tips for putting Zero Trust Architecture into action. How does cloud make implementing Zero Trust faster but more complicated How to develop a long-term strategy to protect data throughout its entire life-cycle Re...

With the growing number of digital transformation initiatives, hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) has emerged as a simple, cost-effective solution. However, as HCIs amass large volumes of data across distributed resources, security compliance becomes a critical factor when protecting data at rest in an HCI. View this 60-minute webcast to learn how you can work with VMware and Thales TCT to deliver secure hyper-converged infrastructure soluti...

The rise of cyber attacks signals the current approach to security isn’t working, and the industry must make a radical shift to ensure protection of its most important asset – data. Enter Zero Trust. A defined roadmap and lack of cohesive security solutions places the burden of technology integration and partner orchestration on the customer. This results in organizations implementing a self-defined approach made up of an assortme...

Cloud Security Alliance best practices require that keys be stored and managed outside of the cloud service provider and the associated encryption operations. Cloud Service Providers therefore offer Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) or Hold Your Own Key (HYOK) services to enable customer control of the keys used to encrypt their data. Customer control of the keys allows for the separation, creation, ownership and control, including revocation, of encr...

Without secure, enterprise-managed identity systems, adversaries can take over user accounts and gain a foothold in an agency to steal data or launch attacks. The Federal Zero Trust Strategy prioritizes defense against sophisticated phishing and directs agencies to consolidate identity systems so that protections and monitoring can be consistently applied. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) plays a critical part of the Government’s strat...

Buzzword tracking is overwhelming. From AI to Quantum, it can be challenging for federal agencies to stay on top of the latest trends and understand how they apply to existing and future cyber security strategies. On the first installment of Thales TCT’s CTO Sessions Webcast Series for 2024, Thales TCT’s CTO Office shared their insights and predictions on the top 5 tech trends for the year and what these trends mean for federal age...

Quantum computing’s impact is likely to be large—the potential computational power could render today’s encryption algorithms obsolete. The White House’s National Security Memorandum on Promoting US Leadership in Quantum Computing While Mitigating Risks to Vulnerable Cryptographic Systems states that “America must start the lengthy process of updating our IT infrastructure today to protect against this quantum com...

Ongoing government-wide zero trust implementations exemplify the fact that traditional end-point and perimeter-based security are not enough to protect valuable data. Enter data-centric security, which offers CISOs transformative opportunities to fortify data protection, compliance adherence and operational efficiency. Yet, ensuring robust defense mechanisms remains imperative, given the diverse pathways to data each with its own unique securi...
