Our Chief Trust Officer, Matt Chiodi, recently briefed a working group within the United Nations Information Security Special Interest Group (UNISSIG) on emerging Zero Trust technologies and priorities. The presentation, made virtually today at the request of the group, covered key Zero Trust concepts, steps required to implement Zero Trust, and ways to ensure these principles in an environment where technology spending continues to move away from the IT function.
“It was an honor to advocate Zero Trust principles to a group of this stature— this is a vital discipline, and it deserves the breadth and prestige that UN agencies can bring to it,” Mr. Chiodi noted. “All of us at Cerby look forward to greater interaction and collaboration with the IOM as it spreads the message of Zero Trust.”
Among other issues, the presentation covered:
The UNISSIG is the principle mechanism within the UN system for the promotion of inter-agency cooperation and collaboration on information security-related matters. Its primary objective, the optimization of information security within its member organizations, is pursued through the continuous and collective assessment of the UN system’s exposure to (internal and external) threats. Representatives from The International Office for Migration (IOM) and World Health Organization (WHO) were among those attending the briefing.
