Supporting Event: Adopting Zero Trust for Remote Access

Date: 20 Jan 2021 (Wednesday)
Time: 11:00am

Language: English

Highlight:
By definition, a Zero Trust security model advocates the creation of zones and segmentation to control sensitive IT resources. This also entails the deployment of technology to monitor and manage data between zones, and more importantly, user interactions within a zone(s). A Zero Trust security model redefines the architecture of a trusted network inside a defined corporate perimeter. This is relevant today since technologies and processes like the cloud, DevOps, and IoT have either blurred, or dissolved altogether, the idea of a traditional perimeter.

While the Zero Trust model has become a trendy catchword in IT, it is complex and difficult to implement for many organizations in Asia Pacific, because it requires the establishment of a model of trust, verification, and continuous evaluation of trust for further access and lateral movement.

Join BeyondTrust and (ISC)² on Jan 20, 2021 (Wed) at 11am (GMT +8), Ajay Kumar, Director for Security Engineering at BeyondTrust, review the practical shortcomings and limitations of a Zero Trust model, and explain how to achieve Zero Trust using the Privileged Remote Access model.

Presenter: Ajay Kumar, Director for Security Engineering – APJ, BeyondTrust
Moderator: Hoo Chuan-Wei, CISSP, Technical Advisor – Asia-Pacific, (ISC)²

Dear PISA members,

PISA uses Yahoo! Groups as our discussion board and electronic mailing service. [PISAM] is the common group for us to distribute our messages to PISA members. Sadly, Yahoo! Groups has announced its End of Service. The Yahoo Groups website is going to shut down on December 15, 2020 and members will no longer be able to send or receive emails from Yahoo Groups. (Thanks Yahoo! Groups for providing the service in the past.)

The PISA Executive Committee has decided to change our mailing list service to Groups.io. Our valid members will receive our invitation from "pisam@groups.io Moderators" in the coming few days. The last batch of invitations will NOT be later than 15-NOV. Please accept the invitation and join our new PISAM group.

The invitation email maybe drops into your JUNK/ SPAM folder. Please take a look, release it and try to whitelist [pisam] emails in the future.
