ITA . Caron advocates for a zerotrust approach – a security model that requires strict identity verification for every person and device trying to access resources on a private network , regardless of whether they are sitting within or outside of the network perimeter . He also emphasises the importance of protecting sensitive data and safeguarding against potential breaches .
“ Cybersecurity is important no matter where you ’ re doing IT , but some data is more important than others . There are different levels of data – and different agencies have a much higher level of data – but we have data that , if misused , could cause an embarrassment to the government ,” he explains . “ So , of course , we have a responsibility to protect data and personally identifiable information .”
