AI and cybersecurity are a perfect match, one that has the power to significantly enhance the way government systems detect and respond to threats. Integrating AI into zero trust frameworks elevates their effectiveness even further. AI is always active, consistently monitoring user behavior, network traffic and devices. It also gives agencies the ability to quickly tweak and improve security capabilities to stay one step ahead of threats. 

In this episode of Beyond borders: The future of zero trust in government, Paul Blahusch, the chief information security officer at the Labor Department, Beau Nuanes, systems engineer from ThunderCat, and Christopher Hoesly, director of solutions engineering for BigID dive into practical tips and tricks federal agencies can use to maximize AI-boosted zero trust setups for increased security and efficiency.
