“Biden’s Executive Order: The Inclusivity Imperative”
MARLBOROUGH, MA – May 28, 2021 – PortSys CEO Michael Oldham today shared his insights on President Biden’s recent cybersecurity Executive Order in an opinion article on the InfoSecurity Magazine website.
In his column, “Biden’s Executive Order: The Inclusivity Imperative,” Oldham explains why more weight needs to be given to inclusivity of all resources, local and cloud, as the Federal Government looks to deploy Zero Trust across its complex legacy infrastructure. He cites the earlier struggles of organizations that didn’t completely identify the critical factors that drive successful Zero Trust deployments.
“They would have been well advised to fully address the unique complex and complicated access needs of both their local and cloud-based resources,” Oldham writes. “And they should have done so in an accelerated manner that didn’t take years to roll out, while hackers continue to exploit vulnerabilities across their attack surfaces. They also should have focused on making the lives of end users and admins easier – not adding even more security hoops to jump through. And yet many organizations don’t think this through.”
Oldham says agencies should understand the benefits and drawbacks of three approaches as they move to meet the requirements in the Executive Order: identity-focused, data-focused, and access-focused Zero Trust strategies. He also advocates for incorporating Single Sign On (SSO) technology into any approach government agencies select, to seamlessly authenticate end user access requests.
