The fundamentals of cyber security have evolved greatly in recent years. The number and variety of threat vectors has increased, as has the complexity and sophistication of today’s cyber threats. In an era of cloud and mobile computing, this means that individual products must now work together seamlessly, and public sector security teams need solutions that future-proof their operations so they can defend sensitive information against rapidly-evolving security threats.
Symantec’s Integrated Cyber Defense (ICD) Platform unifies products, services, and partners to drive down the cost and complexity of cyber security, while protecting enterprises against sophisticated threats. ICD combines information protection, threat protection, identity management, compliance and other advanced services, powered by shared intelligence and automation across endpoints, networks, applications, and clouds.
As Symantec’s largest government distributor, Carahsoft supports an extensive ecosystem of resellers and consulting partners committed to helping public sector organizations fulfill their mission to keep critical information safe and available to ensure the continuity of operations.

The White House Executive Order issued in May directs federal agencies to, through bold changes and significant investments, apply zero trust practices to strengthen cybersecurity across government and the private sector.

This multi-level effort must encompass every type of information technology that comprises government systems, regardless of location, whether remote or on-premises.
Join us as agency and industry leaders offer pragmatic guidance on how to move forward – what to do first, second, third, and so on.
