Let’s Be Real: A Practical Guide to Zero Trust For The Real World
Tamara Elliott, Head of Federal Sales, Duo
Sponsored by: Duo
If we’re all in agreement that Zero Trust is the best security model moving forward, why are so few actively implementing it? Removing budget from the picture, it will typically come down to 2 major roadblocks: misunderstanding of scope, and fear of disruption to users. At Duo, we have battle-tested methodology built on years of data and experience from implementing Zero Trust for our commercial customers. In this presentation, break down the NIST 800-207 definition of Zero Trust and review the practical steps needed to apply it in a Federal environment including:
- How to navigate NIST and OMB requirements as they change
- Concrete steps to start, progress, or complete a zero trust initiative
- Practical advice for change management for Federal employees
