In federal technology, the stakes are even higher.&nbsp; This week on&nbsp;Feds&nbsp;At&nbsp;the Edge,&nbsp;we sit down with experts navigating the realities of securing federal systems in an environment where threats are&nbsp;constant&nbsp;and decisions carry real consequences.&nbsp;Gary Barlet, Public Sector CTO for Illumio,&nbsp;poses a critical question: “Do you have a plan for what happens when a malicious actor breaches your system?” He&nbsp;explains how segmentation can stop attackers from being able to “land and expand,”&nbsp;and why “real-time” observability is essential to understanding actual network dependencies.&nbsp;&nbsp; Mark Mitchell, Federal Security Architect&nbsp;at&nbsp;Netskope,&nbsp;highlights a familiar challenge: “If this alert is valid, what is my next step?”&nbsp;He introduces “Active User Coaching,” which helps guide users with warnings and safer alternatives when risky actions occur.&nbsp;&nbsp; Together, the&nbsp;conversation also explores aligning zero trust strategies with federal guidance and the importance of assuming breaches from the start.&nbsp;&nbsp; Tune in on your favorite podcasting platform to hear how&nbsp;effective federal cybersecurity requires planning, real visibility, and clear action in the moments that matter most.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Feds At The Edge by FedInsider http://fedinsider.libsyn.com/website <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/40990630/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/1a80b6/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/40990630
