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

Island-Strong Finances: How Kauai County Built Resilience from the Inside Out
Tuesday, May 26, 2026 | 2:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. ET
Hawaii's counties carry a unique weight: the responsibility of serving tight-knit communities while managing the financial pressures that come with island life. For Kauai County, the Garden Island, that responsibility has meant building a financial foundation strong enough to weather uncertainty from the inside out. With a $550 million budget and a community navigating rising housing costs, shifting economic drivers, and the ongoing demands of core public services, every dollar counts.
In this session, Kauai County Treasurer Nancee Robles shares how her office partnered with three+one to generate over $20 million for county programs. Join NACo and three+one's Vice President of Client Servicing, Mike Ablowich, alongside Treasurer Robles for a conversation about what it means to protect taxpayer dollars, serve your community with integrity, and what counties across the country can learn from Kauai's approach.
This webinar is brought to you by NACo EDGE, establishing people, purchasing, and performance cost-saving solutions that can be applied to counties nationwide. EDGE is owned by NACo, advised by county leaders and 100% focused on solutions for U.S. Counties. Learn more about NACo EDGE here.
