In the realm of government cybersecurity, the Zero Trust framework stands as a beacon of defense against evolving threats. Central to its efficacy are the principles of identity and access management, which redefine traditional security paradigms. Zero Trust advocates for perpetual verification of users, devices, and resources, emphasizing a “never trust, always verify” mantra. Identity verification, facilitated by multifactor auth...

Eight years ago, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initiated a public process to select quantum-resistant public-key cryptographic algorithms for standardization. NIST issued the public call for submissions to the PQC Standardization Process in December 2016 and, after three rounds of evaluation and analysis, selected four algorithms for standardization: CRYSTALS-KYBER, CRYSTALS-Dilithium, FALCON, and SPHINCS+. In this...

In today’s hyperconnected world, where cyber threats evolve rapidly and cyber criminals operate with heightened speed and flexibility, staying ahead of these risks is paramount. Your security teams need to be equally agile and well-prepared. Join ATARC alongside government and industry experts for a comprehensive discussion on the latest threat vectors impacting agency infrastructures. Discover insights into how cloud-native security sol...

How might we implement the Integrated Value Network (IVN) framework in the wild? Our first challenge is to communicate what data is available and how it answers basic questions; we will do this by addressing key themes from the January kickoff survey. Hear from invited panelists as they discuss their use cases to address policy challenges using this “Moneyball” approach. We invite attendees to share their ideas and implementation o...

Join our ATARC Zero Trust Lab Phase 2 Demonstration, co-hosted by IBM and Palo Alto Networks. Meeting NIST 800-207 Guidelines – a demonstration of cutting edge zero trust-oriented software tools that enable and empower US Federal SOC operations to gain new efficiencies. Please note this is a hybrid demonstration. Government attendees may join virtually or in-person at the IBM Innovation Studio located at 600 14th St NW, Suite 200, Washin...

Our digital world is more expansive than ever before, giving access to unprecedented capabilities for our business, government, and personal use. As digital transformation accelerates, the risks associated with cyberattacks grow and affect every aspect of modern business, from customer service to government operations to smart infrastructure. Cyber or Business resilience must be a critical component of all security strategies — yet it is...

The Government Information Technology Executive Council (GITEC) is an entity focused on fostering professional development and collaborative platforms for the Federal government, academia, and industry to address and overcome emerging technology challenges. The Federal Government is in a perpetual state of evolution, adapting to dynamic challenges and emerging trends. In this ever-changing landscape, the need for collaboration and unity become...

Join the Cloud Safe Task Force (CSTF) to develop Whole-of-Government approaches to improve US cloud security. At its March 19, 2024 meeting, the Task Force will take up Cloud Safe initiatives in measures, metrics, and monitoring for cloud security. The Task Force is looking for demonstrations and innovations in cloud security focused metrics and real-time monitoring. During this session, we’ll facilitate an open discussion of top metrics...

In the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the Zero Trust model has emerged as a cornerstone principle, dictating that trust must never be implicit and must be continually earned. This webinar, “Operationalizing Zero Trust: Securing Containers in Runtime,” delves into the practical applications of Zero Trust architecture within live container workloads, an area fraught with potential vulnerabilities and attack vectors. Joi...

This talk will outline user-centric motivations and requirements that drive the development of technologies for full-stack interfacing and integration of quantum computing platforms with HPC systems from hardware, software to applications and skills. European activities driven through the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking as well as global activities such as the IEEE Quantum-HPC Working Group will be presented alongside the technological challenges an...
