Federal Agencies Like DHS Look Ahead to Strengthening Security and Reliability of Federal Information Systems

Blueprint for DHS’ Zero Trust and Data Protection Strategy

Today, the traditional perimeter has dissolved and cyber activity once easy to define as “good” or “bad” has become nebulous. This poses a crushing problem to threat-centric security, whose static policies are forced to make decisions about cyber activity with no insight into its broader context.

If we look at how cybersecurity has traditionally been approached up to this point, it’s centered on threat-centric responses. You built a wall around your perimeter, controlled access in and out of that wall, and when something bad happened, you responded. That was effectively your defense, and it was relatively easy to implement.

As we look to solve these challenges, it is important to consider the importance of cognitive science and cybersecurity, the role of continuous risk adaptive security, and how Zero Trust Architectures may help. 

The result is a disproportionate number of flagged activities, overwhelming security teams who have no way to understand the ones most worthy of investigation.

Wednesday, May 19th, Forcepoint is hosting an event for DHS stakeholders in this conversation, a complimentary virtual conference, where industry experts from government, industry and Forcepoint discuss the Department of Homeland Security’s blueprint for zero trust and data protection strategy.  With so much at stake, aligning with the right zero trust strategy for data protection is crucial.
