Zero-Trust Architecture: Bridging the Gap Between Mandate and Implementation - 8 de mayo de 2025 - TecnoWebinars.com

As cyber threats continue to evolve and breach traditional network boundaries, organizations face mounting pressure to adopt zero-trust architecture (ZTA) – not just as a security framework, but as a federal mandate. This paradigm shift recognizes that threat actors can emerge from anywhere – whether inside your trusted network or beyond its boundaries – demanding a complete rethinking of security monitoring strategies. While the zero-trust mandate establishes clear objectives for security models and system design principles, many organizations struggle with practical implementation, particularly in network security monitoring (NSM). Traditional NSM tools, designed for perimeter-based security models need to evolve to meet ZTA requirements. This session critically examines popular open-source NSM solutions, evaluating their readiness for ZTA implementation and exploring the necessary evolution of monitoring principles to support a true zero-trust environment. Join ESnet/LBNL Security Engineer, Fatema Bannat Wala for an in-depth analysis of the challenges and opportunities in adapting existing NSM tools for ZTA. Key Takeaways: - Understand the core principles of ZTA and how they fundamentally differ from traditional security monitoring approaches. - Evaluate the capabilities and limitations of current open-source NSM tools in supporting zero-trust implementation. - Learn critical monitoring principles that need to evolve to align with ZTA requirements and federal mandates. - Gain practical insights into assessing your organization's readiness for ZTA and identifying necessary technological adaptations.
