Identity & Cybersecurity: Exploring New Trends, Expectations and Use Cases for Identity and Access Management

The security perimeter is dead. As the threat landscape for state and local governments has morphed in recent years – a long-term evolution that was greatly accelerated by the pandemic – cybersecurity professionals can no longer focus solely on fortifying the edge. With greater demand for digital services and dispersed teams in a hybrid work environment, the landscape for verifying and authenticating identity has become increasingly complex for both government employees and the constituents they serve.

In response to these changes, identity has become the new perimeter. Understanding, verifying and protecting a user’s identity is at the center of any modern cybersecurity strategy.

Users (both internal and external) want a single sign-on identity that serves as a gateway for their entire government experience. They want it to be portable, and they need it to be secure. That poses a significant challenge for public sector cyber leaders.

Join us April 25th at 10am PT as we kick off a new initiative focused on the role of identity and access management in modern cybersecurity. In conversations with multiple state and local security experts, we’ll look at how governments can adopt an identify-centered approach for cybersecurity, keeping their networks, employees and constituents safer in the years ahead.
