The White House Executive Order on Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity - and its provisions on Zero Trust - are critical components of modernizing cybersecurity within the Federal Government. For DOE, escalating cybersecurity risks pose a growing threat to research communities and essential critical infrastructures. Traditional network and perimiter-based approaches to security have been proven insufficient to counter evolving threats. And the surge of VPNs in response to the realities of work-from-home during COVID poses challenges for security, workforce productivity, and management complexity and sustainability. 

During this webinar, we talked about how important it is for Federal agencies like DoE to feel that they have realistic and achievable plans for implementing Zero Trust in order to counter a rise in cyber attacks, dramatically reduce cyber risk overall, and to align with rapidly evolving policy guidance. Zero Trust is a dramatic change from how security has been handled tin the past. Based on Google's own implementation of the world's largest Zero Trust environment over the past decade, this webinar will provide you with actionable steps that you can take to accelerate your Zero Trust journey.
