Data as the foundation for enabling zero trust
from FedScoop Radio Hosted by FedScoop
During the pandemic, the security threats facing federal agencies have significantly expanded. While the number of agency endpoints grow and federal employees work remotely with limited VPNs and legacy equipment, hackers are not relenting. To account for this new cloud-based paradigm where the network is no longer confined to the physical walls of a federal building, agencies must now pivot to a zero trust view of security from the data layer, says Spunk's CISO, Yassir Abousselham. “We cannot and need not protect everything at the same level,” Abousselham said. “What is needed is an approach to maintain a level of assurance that is aligned with sensitivity of the data that we want to protect.” Sponsored by Splunk.
