CyberThreats 2024: Combatting the Evolving Threat Landscape - Day 2: State, Local, Tribal, Territorial, Education

Cybersecurity is akin to the 20th century Cold War. On the one hand, bad actors – whether nation-states or common criminals – are constantly searching for new vulnerabilities and creating new tools to attack them. On the other, all government agencies and private sector companies are trying to remain alert and find new ways to fend off those attacks.

Among the innovative ways agencies are responding to the ever-evolving threat landscape are expanded collaboration between federal and state/local agencies, initiatives such as Zero Trust to raise the security bar, and FedRAMP/StateRAMP vehicles to provide a uniform security baseline.
