Cisco ACI Segmentation Migration Lab

Over the past few years many customers deploying ACI have opted for using the “Network-Centric” approach for implementing their ACI installations. Customers who no want to migrate to a Application-Centric approach often find their workloads are spread across multiple subnets, and grouping them by application is difficult. This lab provides a technique on how to make this migration simpler

Zscaler Zero Trust Lab

Zscaler is responsible for securing more than 400 of the Forbes Global 2000 companies. They provide security as a service delivered through a purpose-built, globally distributed platform. The focus of this lab is zero trust access utilizing a solution known as Zscaler Private Access (ZPA). ZPA is a cloud service that provides seamless, zero trust access to private applications running on public cloud or within the data center. With ZPA, applications don't need to be exposed to the internet, making them completely invisible to unauthorized users. This service enables the applications to connect to users via inside-out connectivity versus extending the network to them. It disrupts legacy approaches to remote access such as traditional VPN, establishing per-service dynamic encryption and trust evaluation.

Public-Private Partnership Critical to Continue Zero Trust Momentum

Zero Trust has become a priority for federal agencies, as we’ve seen in the Biden Administration’s cybersecurity Executive Order. It also has a far-reaching impact. For example, although Zero Trust is a requirement for the public sector, the order extends to partnerships with private-sector organizations.

Public Sector Tech Talk E31: Weaving Zero Trust and Universal Access Together with Data Fabrics

Data has become the currency of all public sector transactions. That means getting the right data to the right people at the right times – in a reliable, secure, and repeatable way, regardless of the applications or devices they use, the location of the data, or the parties themselves. But this universal accessibility cannot come at the expense of data security. The rising complexity and volume of cyber threats place data at increasing risk, leading to adoption in the public sector of the zero trust model, which by its very nature could limit accessibility. What’s the secret to bringing together these seemingly opposing forces of zero trust and universal access? This event offers an answer.

Public Sector Tech Talk E13: Moving to a Zero Trust Framework

As the threat landscape continues to evolve, government agencies cannot simply add another tool to their security stack as a method of protection. The Cyber Executive Order (EO) calls on agencies to adopt a Zero Trust framework, one that requires more than a simple point product, but a comprehensive strategy and overarching view of an agency’s cyber posture. In a cloud first world, how can agencies accelerate their journey to Zero Trust given the current and evolving cyberspace environment? And what does the future hold? This Public Sector Tech Talk will discuss considerations and recommendations in implementing a Zero Trust framework. It will address how network and asset visibility are key components in understanding risk levels and how analytics can play into this strategy. Finally, it will address how the Cyber EO will shape the agency strategy of the future.

Public Sector Tech Talk E05: Adopting Zero Trust in Support of the Cyber Executive Order

The Biden Administration’s Cyber Executive Order (EO), officially released on May 12, lays out a multi-pronged approach on how to fortify federal agency cybersecurity efforts and mitigate the large-scale, damaging attacks felt across the country. The Cyber EO provides direction, now it’s up to each agency to develop a cohesive strategy. Zero Trust is a concept highlighted in the EO and one that will need to be part of any agency strategy, but is there a consensus on what this means or how to achieve it? In this Public Sector Tech Talk, WWT and F5 will discuss how federal agencies need to move away from traditional network perimeter defense tactics to a perimeter-less data environment that uses identity and authentication tools as the primary means of access in a centralized, controlled Zero Trust framework.
