Fed Talks: Zero Trust thirty: reflections on cybersecurity

Fed Talks is a series of audio episodes featuring current issues in government contracting, offering thoughtful, bite-sized insights with rotating guests from inside and outside Baker Tilly.

• What are the biggest similarities and differences in managing cybersecurity for a company versus the federal government?
• What is the ‘Zero Trust’ model of information security and why is establishing user identity a critical component for an effective Zero Trust model?
• How can companies balance good security practices with the cost and complexity it takes to implement them?
