What role would you like to play in organizing this workshop? I’m interested in organizing a workshop on this topic.

Intended Audience: mangers/directors of infrasatructure, security staff, CTO, technical architects, technical staff

Proposal:

Each time I hear a pitch about Zero Trust Network Architecture and Secure Application Access, it differs wildly from the last. If you polled 50 technicians about what defines ZTNA you would probably get 80 differing opinions. My goal is to walk through the core concepts and how they CAN be applied to provide some structural elements to staff architecting a solution for their institution. So many of these presentations can be overwhelming and it can be difficult to get a solution off the ground. I'd like to also discuss how to evaluate priorities and make incremental steps toward a goal rather than trying (and failing) to do it all at once.

Learning Objectives:
How to define Zero Trust Network Architecture from a vendor agnostic point of view
What the basic objectives are of ZTNA
What Secure Application Access is
How to evaluate institutional priorities when improving security posture

Event Type: Webinar/virtual

Track: Systems & Solutions
