A CXOs Guide to Zero Trust Implementation
Moving to zero trust is one of the major steps in any organization’s digital transformation. In the past year since Executive Order 14028 was signed, implementing a data-centric approach to enterprise operations and risk management has become a top priority across industries nation-wide. It’s up to CIOs and CISOs to lead the executive and strategic planning requirements for designing zero trust throughout the enterprise, and staying abreast of how it will affect other business transformation initiatives.
Join the discussion to learn more about:
  • The keys steps to implementing zero trust as a service
  • How to position zero trust to other C-level executives and the board
  • Ensuring the right competencies and workflows are in place to achieve success
