As agencies maintain Zero Trust frameworks, the data pillar presents some of the toughest challenges. This panel will examine how federal teams are approaching data discovery, classification, and protection to meet evolving cybersecurity mandates. Speakers will share practical strategies for identifying and securing sensitive data across hybrid environments, explore how AI can accelerate data discovery, and discuss how the human factor influences data classification while reinforcing Zero Trust policies at scale.

Zero Trust isn’t just about verifying data sources—it’s about ensuring the right access, at the right time, for the right users. This panel will explore how agencies are leading with an identity-first approach, as they automate and govern data access controls to build adaptive, risk-based access models. Speakers will discuss the role of identity in reducing vulnerabilities, streamlining compliance, and enabling real-time decision making as part of a data-centric Zero Trust approach.
