State and local government leaders encounter new buzzwords and tech jargon every day.

 

In The Lightning Round, a new webinar series from Government Technology, we’re explaining these emerging concepts and demystifying gov tech one buzzword at a time.

 

In this episode, we’re looking at Zero Trust. It has quickly emerged as an essential part of a modern cybersecurity framework. But what exactly does Zero Trust security mean? How has the concept evolved since it was introduced — and how might it continue to change?

 

Join us for a 15-minute Lightning Round interview on October 18 at 9 a.m. Pacific/Noon p.m. Eastern — or catch it on demand any time after.
