The Blue Team Summit features presentations and panel discussions covering actionable techniques, new tools, and innovative methods that help cyber defenders improve their ability to prevent and detect attacks.

The traditional perimeter-based security architecture used in sectors ranging from education to government and communications has basically failed to protect internal assets. New technologies such as the Internet of Things and mobile devices will force a new approach to network security architecture. Zero-trust networks (ZTNs) assume that the network is hostile, attackers are already inside the net, and segmentation isn't sufficient to determine trust, among other characteristics. This talk will describe zero-trust network properties and how we are integrating this architecture with existing cybersecurity defense strategies. We believe all sectors will have to adopt this strategy in the near future. In this talk, we’ll explore ZTN components and their relationships, determine what off-the-shelf software can be used to build a ZTN, and help you improve your overall security posture by integrating ZTN concepts into your existing network architecture.
