Microsoft is proposing a session on the Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity (14028). This session will discuss how to better understand and accurately respond to the EO and rapidly deploy Zero Trust security principals. We also plan to discuss the DoD’s cybersecurity maturity model certification (CMMC) program to help organizations understand how they need to prepare for these requirements and how they correlate to the tools used to meet the cybersecurity EO.
