Ep. 198 Identity Governance and Zero Trust - Best Practices for a Multi-Cloud Environment

Today’s modern network has placed identity management in the forefront to manage a plethora of landscapes – on and off prem, public and private, hybrid, and the new kid on the block, alt-clouds. 

This week on Feds At The Edge, we explore how the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is leading the charge in modern identity management, once a backwater concept, to center stage, with its ambitious program, Thunderdome.  

Chris Pymm, Portfolio Manager, Zero Trust & Division Chief for ID7 at DISA, shares how Thunderdome spans 50 sites and 12,000 users, automating identity controls to outpace threats like lateral movement. We also hear from Quest Software Public Sector cybersecurity expert Chris Roberts, who breaks identity management down to its core: know the user, know the device, know the behavior.  

Tune in on your favorite podcasting platform today to hear how DISA is redefining identity for today’s distributed networks—and what your agency can take from their playbook.
