CyberThreats 2021: State & Local Agencies Build on an Era of Trust

This event qualifies for 2 CPEs

For more than a year, cybersecurity professionals in the government have been wrestling with a vastly more complicated threat landscape. Millions of employees suddenly working from home, often using their own devices, brought the full impact of “computing at the edge” to light.

Meanwhile, high-profile cyber attacks, from the Solar Winds breach to ransomware threatening public safety and national security, have demonstrated the need for agencies to move as quickly as possible to a Zero Trust architecture. The new Executive Order on Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity issued by the White House in May makes this explicit.

Join us as government and industry leaders discuss how their organizations are embracing new technologies and tactics to protect information in response to these evolving threats.
