MARCH 2, 2023 | 11:00AM - 2:10PM ET
Cybersecurity is always the top priority if you ask state or local government, as well as higher education, IT leaders. In a space that moves so fast and affects so many, two of the most common challenges named by security staff are the feeling of isolation in knowing that they face all these threats alone from their resource-constrained, staff-limited offices, and a general feeling of being overwhelmed by the new varieties of cyberattacks discovered each day.VIRTUAL EVENT
This virtual event will bring together cybersecurity leaders to explore the ongoing challenge of cybersecurity in the state and local government and higher education communities. They will discuss the ongoing battle in protecting critical infrastructure and constituent data with a focus on lessons learned about the everchanging cyber landscape.
