Cybersecurity Conferences in Maryland

DSI’s 3rd Annual Zero Trust Government Symposium will gather leaders, experts, and implementers from the DoD, Military Services, USG, Technical Solutions Providers, and Academia to showcase the latest advancements in Zero Trust implementation efforts. Zero Trust, a cybersecurity framework, emphasizes continuous monitoring and constant authentication to protect critical national security information, operating under the assumption that all networks may be compromised from the outset. This year panels will explore how integrating Zero Trust strategies can bridge cybersecurity gaps in both IT and OT environments, how securing networks is critical for energy infrastructure will be critical to operational success, developments in zero trust cyber policy, and finally, a Joint Service discussion surrounding ZTA initiatives. Attendees will gain valuable insights into enhancing cybersecurity through Zero Trust architectures, achieving optimal protection levels, and integrating full-spectrum cyberspace operations, all shared by senior leaders and leading experts from across the military, industry, and academia. DSI’s team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Symposium content and focus areas. We will assemble the most respected minds in the Zero Trust and network security communities, including DoD, Federal, and industry. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all involved organizations and bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers. Attendees of DSI’s Zero Trust Government Summit are eligible to earn up to 6 CPE credits per day of attendance.
