Originally established in response to a White House memorandum issued on June 28\, 1966\, GITEC has provided a unique forum where Senior Level Government and Industry Executives can engage in open dialogue\, sharing innovative ideas\, overcoming IT challenges\, and celebrating successes. \nOn May 31\, 2018\, GITEC merged with the Advanced Technology Academic Research Center (ATARC)\, combining their missions to further enhance collaboration across the public and private sectors. ATARC\, a thought leader in emerging technology and research\, has worked extensively to bridge the gap between government and industry by creating an environment for thought exchange and technical advancements. \nIn today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape\, the importance of collaboration across government agencies and sectors is more crucial than ever. By joining forces\, GITEC and ATARC offer a united platform for addressing the complex IT challenges facing the nation. Together\, they help government agencies leverage collective knowledge\, share best practices\, and implement innovative solutions that ensure the Federal Government remains agile\, effective\, and resilient in meeting the ever-changing needs of the country. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Register:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n What Past Winners Say About GITEC Awards\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Thank you.

However\, how do you know when a rogue device or user is on the network? In this session\, we will talk about how agencies deploy Observability technologies to provide a complete picture into the enterprise network infrastructure\, and how these technologies help the agency address Zero Trust policies and practices. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Justin Fessler\n Vice President of Public Sector\, LogicMonitor \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n }\n \n 9:50 AM\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Break in the Emerging Technology Showcase\n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n }\n \n 10:35 AM\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Emerging Technology Talk\nEnabling Zero Trust: Promoting Adoption by leveraging Hybrid Methodologies\nToday’s modern workforce is highly distributed\, with users working at home\, in the office\, and places in between and beyond. Protecting distributed employees who need to access resources in private and public data centers requires reliable and secure access plus deep visibility into how identities gain access. Most global enterprises struggle with this. Concerns about stronger security potentially impeding user productivity and increased IT complexity from security tool proliferation contribute to this struggle. \nBy taking an identity-first approach to SSE\, organizations can ease the transition to zero trust. Deliver a consistent and frictionless user experience that boosts productivity\, simplified administration that streamlines IT operations\, and highly resilient security for all. \nKey Takeaways: \n\nUncover the challenges of Implementing Zero Trust frameworks in secure service architectures\nUnderstand the benefits of utilizing multiple protocols for application access\nLearn the advantages of decoupling security controls for Universal Zero Trust Access implementation\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Ryan Shaffer\n Technical Solutions Architect\, Cisco \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n }\n \n 10:45 AM\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Zero Trust Implementation: Lessons from the Federal Frontlines\nWhat does it take to implement Zero Trust architecture efficiently in federal environments?
