Cybersecurity Protections in an Expanding Digital Environment

As governments and public leaders move to modernize how they engage with citizens, more and more services have a digital connection. These range from citizen-facing services such as 911 emergency services to websites for imparting information or scheduling services and using connections with a physical component such as public water and/or electrical meters. More and more essential government services, such as traffic lights and public utilities, are examples of Operational Technology (OT) that are increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats. Keeping these types of public services available and our citizens safe is top of mind for leaders across state, county, and local government.

Join us for this webinar discussion of key issues, strategies, and response options available in New York State. Our presenter, Jim Richberg, is the Head of Cyber Policy and Global Field Chief Information Security Officer at a major security company. This webinar presentation is based, in part, on recent cybersecurity testimony that Jim gave to Congress earlier this month. Jim is a sought-after expert with more than 30+ year career building and running whole-of-government cyber programs and leading cyber activities across the 17 departments and agencies of the US Intelligence Community. This is a great opportunity to listen, learn, ask questions, and engage in a dialogue designed to help build local cyber security and awareness.
