State and local governments are under increasing pressure to protect Criminal Justice Information (CJI) while operating in complex hybrid IT environments. The CJIS Security Policy outlines critical safeguards for access control, system protection, and incident response, yet many agencies struggle to implement these requirements effectively within flat or minimally segmented networks. This session explores how microsegmentation provides a practical, Zero Trust–aligned approach to supporting CJIS compliance by enforcing least-privilege access at the workload level. Attendees will learn how microsegmentation helps restrict access to CJI systems, prevent unauthorized lateral movement during a breach, and improve visibility and auditability across on-premises and cloud environments. Using real-world state and local government scenarios, this presentation will demonstrate how microsegmentation can be deployed without a full network redesign, reducing risk while maintaining operational continuity. Participants will leave with a clear understanding of how microsegmentation aligns to CJIS requirements and how it can strengthen security posture while simplifying compliance efforts. --Understand how microsegmentation supports CJIS compliance. Attendees will learn how microsegmentation maps to key CJIS Security Policy control areas—such as Access Control, System and Communications Protection, and Incident Response—and how it operationalizes least-privilege access in real government environments. --Identify practical ways to reduce breach impact in justice systems. Attendees will gain insight into how microsegmentation limits lateral movement, contains ransomware and insider threats, and protects Criminal Justice Information (CJI) across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid infrastructures. --Learn how to implement microsegmentation without disrupting operations. Attendees will understand deployment models, common pitfalls, and best practices for rolling out microsegmentation in state, city, and county agencies—often without requiring major network redesigns—while improving visibility, auditability, and compliance readiness.
