Combating Evolving Cyber Threats with Attestation and Runtime Integrity

Attestation is a foundational cybersecurity mechanism for verifying system integrity — and it is rapidly evolving into a runtime capability that enables continuous verification. This expert panel, including MITRE cybersecurity specialists, will explore how runtime attestation operates across the system stack, how it complements existing security controls and why it is increasingly important for detecting modern threats such as AI-enabled attacks and software supply chain risk. Drawing on perspectives from the Department of Defense and state, local and education (SLED) environments, panelists will discuss practical adoption considerations and alignment with emerging security models like confidential computing.
