Paul Blahusch on challenges and AI’s role in advancing zero trust at the Dept. of Labor

Paul Blahusch, CISO for the Dept. of Labor, discusses the technical challenges in implementing zero trust security measures as mandated by the White House Executive Order. He highlighted three main challenges: enhancing log collection and storage within budget constraints, managing sensitive data through collaboration with data owners and addressing supply chain security to ensure a healthy digital environment. Additionally, Blahusch expresses optimism about the role of AI in managing the vast amount of data required for zero-trust practices and in automating threat responses while also seeing the potential for generative AI in documentation processes.
