Summary
State and local governments had to adapt quickly to the effects of the pandemic, as workers and residents alike were encouraged to shelter in their homes. This created major challenges for agencies' IT systems and technical support staff. Zero Trust has been widely adopted by agencies and organizations to secure their users, apps, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and workloads, regardless of which networks or cloud resources they're connecting to, where they're located, or how they're connecting.
During this podcast, Zscaler and CDI will provide information on how they can help you:
- Simplify administration, improve visibility, and ensure consistent security controls and compliance across your entire agency's network.
- Leverage our robust security capabilities to allow your agency to better protect sensitive data, networks, and systems from cyber threats.
- Reduce upfront costs and ongoing maintenance expenses by consolidating security functions into a unified solution.
