The Threat of Shadow IT panel
Agenda

Aging IT infrastructure presents numerous cybersecurity risks to federal agencies and also prohibits them from deploying effective security strategies. Hear from defense, health and civilian cyber leaders about how they’re addressing technical debt by balancing targeted IT modernization with popular security approaches such as zero trust to secure data in declining systems.

Poor user experience in cybersecurity leads to workarounds, weakened security controls and shadow IT (i.e., the use of IT services without departmental approval and without checking the proper security boxes, such as multi-factor authentication). Shadow IT opens up a broader attack surface to malicious cyber actors. In fast-paced work environments, federal employees need the right data at the right time to do their jobs without cybersecurity impeding the mission. This panel will explore the ways federal cyber leaders are working to improve the user experience with cybersecurity and reduce the threat of shadow IT.

More federal agencies are exploring hybrid cloud solutions to meet mission-specific needs. Balancing on-premise data centers and IT systems with commercial, software-defined cloud solutions can present tricky cybersecurity challenges and unique security risks. This panel will discuss how to balance cybersecurity responsibilities with vendors and cloud strategies such as environment-as-code and zero trust for mitigating hybrid cloud vulnerabilities effectively.

The threat landscape is constantly changing along with the fast pace of technology, and federal agencies need to be primed and ready to respond to all threats, including those from within. The ongoing federal zero trust approach is one component to getting there.

We’ll present the Flywheel Awards to recognize leaders and their work in federal government.

The flywheel — a critical component in a machine to increase its momentum — is also a critical symbol representing our publication’s goal to keep federal IT decision-makers informed on technology’s impact on government. This momentum is what fuels the constant need for transformers to innovate in federal technology and communicate those strategies across the industry.
