Working Backwards: Data Modernization for Public Health

The Department of Defense is exploring a Zero Trust security model that leverages commercial technologies. As part of that pilot project, the Defense Information Systems Agency will develop a Secure Access Service Edge solution for DoD workloads – both in the cloud and at on-premises data centers. The potential extends far beyond DoD. State and local governments can leverage its SASE model to defend against malware and ransomware, to deploy cloud-based security to specific populations, and to provide efficient access to a variety of users. In this episode of GovExec TV, we’ll examine how SASE works and its implications for IT leaders across the country.

The risk of an attack is always present, as cyber criminals seek passwords and credentials to enter networks and applications in order to monitor and steal critical data.

In this annual series, Government Executive convenes experts across government for an in-depth look at the state of the federal workforce. Covering everything from management and benefits to prioritizing diversity and inclusion across the agencies, our speakers, guests, and panelists will examine what it means to be a civil servant in these turbulent times, and how they’re pursuing solutions for the challenges ahead.
