The federal government has made zero trust a mandate. The adversaries have made it a necessity. But for state and local governments operating with legacy infrastructure, multi-year procurement cycles, and security teams stretched across dozens of agencies, getting from policy to implementation is the hard part that no framework addresses directly. This panel brings together three of the most operationally experienced public sector security and technology leaders in the country for a practitioner's conversation about what zero trust actually looks like when you have to build it without a federal budget or a CISO team of fifty. Maryland's Secretary of IT, Oklahoma's CISO, and Suffolk County's CTO share direct experience deploying zero trust network access, governing AI tool use across agency workforces, and securing cloud-native infrastructure in environments where the last major system upgrade was a decade ago.
