What the National Cybersecurity Strategy Means for State and Local Governments

The forthcoming National Cybersecurity Strategy is perhaps the federal government’s biggest, boldest effort ever to reimagine and strengthen the country’s cyber defenses. Some of the themes across the strategy include modernization, stronger public-private collaboration and a ‘whole-of-nation’ cybersecurity approach.

Priorities from the national plan will undoubtedly take some time to implement in state and local governments, and leaders from these agencies understandably have many questions about its impact on their organizations.

That’s why Government Technology and Fortinet have partnered to host a live webinar on August 11, 2023, at 11 AM PT/2 PM ET that will provide state and local government IT leaders with critical insights on what the national cybersecurity strategy means for their agency and guidance on preparing for the shift.

Our panel of experts will cover:

• The priorities behind the national strategy
• How the national plan could affect issues like cyber insurance
• The steps that states and localities should start taking for better cyber resilience
