Available On-Demand
This webinar is available on-demand. If you have issue accessing the recording, please email nacomeetings@naco.org.
Join county IT leaders to hear how they are defending local government systems, staff, and constituents from ever-increasing cyber-attacks. The panelists will discuss specific examples of cyber-attacks they are experiencing, how elected officials are integral to the defense, as well as monitoring, education and interactive staff activities they provided during October Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
Key discussion points:
- Expanding threat landscape: Learn about current developments and how local governments are often targeted by cyber-attacks due to new techniques and blind spots in cybersecurity defenses
- Resource gaps and equity in cybersecurity: Explore the challenges local leaders face, how they work to fill those gaps and ways to ensure cybersecurity efforts are inclusive of all communities, not just the well-resourced ones
- State and local partnerships: Understand the successes and shortcomings in collaboration and hear how states can play a more dominant role or if local autonomy should prevail
- Building a cyber culture: Gain insights needed to develop a sustained culture of cyber resilience, including engaging government staff, elected officials, and the public in continuous cybersecurity practices, and creating an environment of shared responsibility with technology partners
