When All Fails: How To Be Cyber Resilient

This event qualifies for 1 CPEs

There is a focus on ensuring an agency’s cybersecurity is as up to date as possible. But, what does one do when all systems put in place to assist in threat attacks break down?

Given the high stakes in today’s cyber threat landscape, a good cyber strategy must be based on the assumption that, sooner or later, the agency’s defenses will fail. This assumption places the agency’s one step ahead of the attack: knowing that it will happen instead of if. The challenge then is to have a plan for responding to, mitigating and recovering from an attack.

Tune into this panel to listen to topic experts as they answer the following questions and speak to their cyber resilience plans:

How would you recommend one assess a current cyber preparedness and ability to detect, respond and recover from a cyber attack?
What are some best practices for data protection and recovery to help agencies avoid malicious activity or recover from a successful attack successfully?
How to best prepare the workforce to be more cyber resilient?
