WCA Annual Conference Virtual Workshop: Cyber Threats to Public Safety

Описание: Despite cyber security being a priority for public sector CIOs and CISOs, government agencies at all levels continue to face escalating cyber threats. Cyber intrusions and attacks increased dramatically over the last decade, exposing sensitive personal and organizational information, disrupting critical operations, and causing substantial economic losses to individuals, corporations and governments. Hostile actors such as hackers, organized criminals, and foreign countries are rapidly improving their technical cyber capabilities. They continue to target federal, state, and local governments in attempts to steal or manipulate sensitive data and disrupt operations. The sheer criticality of emergency services will likely prompt enterprising actors to launch increasingly targeted and sophisticated ransomware extortion attacks directly against emergency services for potential financial rewards or to cause disruption as a punitive action. At this webinar you will learn strategies on how to protect your county from vicious cyber attacks.
