Announcing Defense Strategies Institute’s 2nd Annual Zero Trust Government Symposium

National Harbor, MD, MD, April 19, 2024 --(PR.com)-- The DOD points to three methods for achieving zero trust: understanding and uplifting the current environment, leveraging cloud services, and using purpose-built on-premises solutions. The department’s strategy for achieving zero trust for the target level by 2027 is built around 91 activities, with progress well underway. The federal government’s commitment is not just a bureaucratic mandate. It is a strategic response that recognizes the importance of proactive defenses amid an escalating threat landscape.

To this End, Defense Strategies Institute is proud to announce the 2nd Annual Zero Trust Government Symposium on July 17-18th. The 2024 Symposium will bring together leaders, experts and implementors across the USG and DOD, federal government, industry, and academia in a town hall style forum to highlight the current status of Zero Trust implementation efforts. The symposium will be held at the Sunset Room in National Harbor, Maryland where discussions will be centered around implementing a zero trust approach to ensure that access to data is strictly controlled and monitored, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or data breaches.
