In 2015, 360 million records were breached---and those are only the ones that were reported. From legislation to military initiatives, the government must be up to the task to amplify efforts to protect our nation’s data from both insider threats and nation-state attacks. For too long the focus has been on defending network boundaries and end points from intrusion. Trends globally have determined an increased concern in insider threat by privileged users, particularly with Data-at-Rest. These problems are compounded by the enterprise being inclusive of data center, cloud implementations and joint tenant environments. The network border paradigm has changed, and the escalation of advanced attacks is continuing to evolve. Even with best efforts, bad actors are breaching the perimeter and data is being exfiltrated. During this session we will discuss current global trends, address enterprise level data security across the diverse environment of the government and how best to deploy a strategy of securing critical data to the organization.
