Cybersecurity incidents are on the rise, each one bigger and more destructive than the last. The notion that a perpetrator can plan an attack significantly disrupting government operations and creating vulnerabilities is indeed real.

Listen to a Federal News Radio’s interview with Jennifer Napper, group vice president for Department of Defense and Intelligence Agencies, and Tom Patterson, chief trust officer, as they discuss the ongoing security challenges. All enterprises encounter threats when securing their data and assets within an IT ecosystem that extends well beyond their agency walls. The discussion highlights an entirely new approach to security that allows enterprises to quickly and easily divide physical networks into thousands of logical micro-segments, which puts adversaries in a holding pattern if they infiltrate one micro-segment. This prevents them from moving across to other parts of the organization’s environment.
