CyberSmart 2023: Combating Cyber Crime - Austin, TX
This event qualifies for .3 CEUs
This event qualifies for 3 CPEs
This event qualifies for 3 CLPs
Cyber attacks are on the increase across all levels of government – and state and local governments are often targeted because they have fewer resources for security. For instance, an October 2022 survey found that more than half of state and local governments faced ransomware attacks in 2021, and just one in five organizations successfully stopped the attack.
Strengthening the security and resilience of these agencies’ systems requires a combination of tried-and-true fundamentals and a willingness to innovate as new challenges arise. Solutions can be applied to everything from fraud mitigation to supply chain risks, securing a remote workforce to addressing how remote work expands the attack surface.
Join us at this live event in Austin, Texas, as thought leaders from state, local and educational organizations discuss the threat landscape they face, the steps they take to mitigate and rebound from attacks, and next steps to protect their agencies.
Speaker and Presenter Information


1:00 PM – Fireside Chat: Combating Cyber Threats in Government
Texas’ state government cybersecurity framework has simple goals: to Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover in the face of cyber attacks. These principles serve to build organizational understanding of the people, assets, and data at risk, to safeguard delivery of critical services, and to detect and mitigate cyber events.



2:00 PM – Federal Support for Cybersecurity
Securing cyberspace requires a collaborative effort from all stakeholders, including government agencies, businesses, and individuals. By taking a proactive approach to cybersecurity, agencies can better protect citizens and critical infrastructure from cyber threats.

Federal, state, and local agencies stand together in the fight to prevent and recover from cyberattacks, as communities increasingly become targets of hackers and other cyber criminals.
