Zero trust is vital for our nation’s cybersecurity modernization, as reinforced by Executive Order 14028. To accelerate adoption, CISA drafted a simple Maturity Model that provides five pillars of zero trust: Identity, Device, Network, Workload, and Data. Even with a simple model to follow, a zero trust journey can be long and complicated-- but it doesn’t have to be. 

In this engaging session, attendees learned: 

• Why Identity is Pillar #1
• How Identity informs your entire Zero Trust Architecture 
• The Identity maturity stages and how to transform your agency from Traditional to Optimal
