Across our nation an array of intuitions, from global giants to small and medium sized businesses, face a wide range of potential risks including an increasing number of sophisticated cyber-attacks. In this session, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) Executive Assistant Director for Cybersecurity, Eric Goldstein will discuss how CISA, America’s cyber defense agency, is working with the tech community, and in collaboration with industry, developers, and the international community to ensure national security considerations are prioritized throughout a product or software’s entire life cycle. By helping set standards to raise the cybersecurity baseline, ensuring that the supply chains for digital products are secure, and that manufacturers and software developers fix vulnerabilities in their products quickly, collectively we will ensure a more resilient future.

In July 2023, the Biden-Harris administration unveiled the National Cyber Workforce and Education Strategy (NCWES), a comprehensive approach to addressing the critical shortage in the cybersecurity workforce. ISC2 is one of the many partners involved in this strategy, and recently provided witness testimony in a hearing before the House Homeland Security subcommittee on cybersecurity and infrastructure, to examine ways to grow the national cybersecurity pipeline. Join ISC2’s Tara Wisniewski, EVP for Advocacy, Global Markets and Member Engagement and other strategic partners as they delve into the imperative actions that need to be taken in both the public and private industry sphere, to address the cybersecurity workforce gap, and discuss the importance of a collaborative approach.

Implementing Zero Trust can seem daunting for most organizations but breaking down the initiative into smaller manageable portions can result in a smoother implementation. We will discuss how to start and continue your Zero Trust journey by applying practical use cases in your environment. Insights on where to start, potential dependencies to consider, identifying quick wins, and steps needed to convince the business will also be addressed. Zero Trust is not a rip and replace of our security programs today, but it is a modernization of how we do security to protect against existing and future security threats. The implementation of Zero Trust principles is not an option anymore but a requirement to address business model disruptions and future technological advances.

Compliance is an arduous manual process. The traditional approach to producing compliance artifacts and meeting regulatory requirements is time-consuming. Automating large parts of compliance can give your organization a continuous view of its risk profile and free up resources for higher-value work. A new standard, OSCAL, was created by NIST to automate compliance artifacts. In this session, security teams will learn how an innovative and technological breakthrough OSCAL standard transforms the ATO process towards a continuous compliance posture.
