Cybersecurity professionals throughout all levels of government and the private sector are painfully aware of the risks to their own networks posed by third parties with authorized access – but insufficient security measures of their own. From a parts supplier responding to an order sent via email to local government contractors who remotely monitor wastewater plant performance.

For instance, a California student-tracking software company was breached – affecting an estimated 600 school districts. Supply chain hacks are favored by cybercriminals because they gain access to company data, as well as the ability to often breach customers’ networks.

Join us as state and business leaders discuss how state and local agencies are addressing the cybersecurity of their providers and suppliers, such as incorporating multi-factor authentication and other identity management tools.
