Brandon Gulla, Rancher Government Solutions | Zero Trust Summit 2024
Advances in AI-assisted technologies and the growing sophistication of international threat actors are increasing the stakes for federal agencies to implement new and more effective safeguards to protect the nation’s strategic data. Much of that effort revolves around the Biden administration’s Executive Orders on National Cybersecurity and related mandates coming due in 2024 to adopt zero-trust architectures across their enterprises.
Brandon Gulla, CTO and VP at Rancher Government Solutions, joined other top cybersecurity decision-makers from government and tech at CyberScoop’s Zero Trust Summit to discuss strategies in laying the foundations for and establishing the major pillars of zero-trust cybersecurity.
In this interview, Gulla answered the following questions:
1. What are the biggest technical challenges [most government agencies still face to meet the key mandates in 2024 in the White House Executive Order on Zero Trust security?
2. What are the biggest operational challenges most government agencies still face in establishing a zero-trust environment?
This interview is part of a series filmed in conjunction with the Zero Trust Summit held on February 15, 2024, in Washington, D.C.
