CISO Perspectives: Zero Trust, Secure Access, and Whats Next

Workloads have moved beyond physical corporate networks & traditional perimeter defenses. Many organizations now have plans to continue at least some form of remote work longer term. Endpoint threat vector matrices are thus a key focus, no matter how much chatter has been dedicated to zero trust.

Organizations rallied to enable secure remote access for employees, contractors, and 3rd parties in the early days of COVID. Now, CISOs, architects, network, security, and cloud teams are looking to next steps to encourage productivity, compliance, and security.

Join Mike Riemer, Chief Architect at Pulse Secure and Tom Mustac, ABD - DIA, MBA, CISA, CISM, CISSP, CRISC and Senior Director Biomedical Cyber Security at Mount Sinai Health System to learn about recent trends as organizations look to implement Zero Trust to streamline access for workforces.

Discussion points include:

What CISOs learned during the initial response to COVID
How to blend compliance and security while preserving a seamless user experience
What tools and technologies can help to minimize data breaches
How analytics can take security from data to information
