How Public Sector Entities Can Modernize Their Network Segmentation Strategy to Reduce Risk, Cost & Overhead


Event Date: May 15, 2024
Hosted By: Akamai & Carahsoft

Cyber threats targeting the public sector are not just evolving; they are becoming more insidious, exploiting the lack of lateral (east-to-west) segmentation within networks to conduct widespread, destructive breaches. It is estimated that government organizations have lost $860.3 million to ransomware attacks from 2018 to 2023.

During this webinar, our speakers dove into the following topics:

  • Why Segmentation is Critical in Today’s Threat Landscape: Traditional security perimeters are necessary, not sufficient
  • Network Segmentation Methods: Overview of hardware-based vs software-based segmentation methods
  • Uses Cases for Micro-Segmentation: Layer 7, process level segmentation has many applications: 1. Zero Trust, 2. Compliance, and 3. Ransomware
  • The Business Outcomes of Software-Based Segmentation: Reduce risk, cost and overhead
  • How to Prevent and Mitigate Ransomware: Witness firsthand how software-based micro-segmentation can be leveraged to prevent and mitigate ransomware attacks

By focusing on disrupting the lateral movement of cyber-attacks, public sector organizations can significantly elevate their cybersecurity posture.

SLED Agencies Explore Cloud Environments to Transform Services

State and local governments are prioritizing the move to cloud and adopting artificial intelligence to enhance processes and transform services to better meet the needs of citizens and internal systems. Agencies are implementing the use of AI tools for a variety of purposes such as analyzing weather data in real-time for more up-to-date alerts, planning for road maintenance to improve traffic flow, incorporating task automation and more.

To accelerate adoption progress, SLED agencies are turning to federal and commercial AI applications. Government, industry and education leaders spoke at a recent FedInsider panel to discuss their experiences adopting cloud and AI solutions to solve complex challenges and meet evolving needs.
