Presenters:

Mark Sangster, Chief of Strategy at Adlumin
Deb Snyder, Senior Fellow, Center for Digital Government

About this talk:

Government agencies of all sizes face increased pressure to safeguard data, protect mission-critical operations, and stay compliant, but doing so can be particularly challenging for smaller agencies.

While many larger organizations have the resources to handle cybersecurity operations, smaller agencies are often constrained in addressing critical security needs. Municipalities, localities, smaller cities, and states all work with a vast amount of sensitive data that can be of value for cybercriminals, yet often aren’t equipped with the tools necessary to take command of security and compliance.

As a participant in this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

  • Detect and respond to cyber threats with limited in-house security
  • Minimize cybersecurity vulnerabilities
  • Automate compliance reporting

The Human Side of Security: Creating a Cyber-Aware Workforce

Adlumin was a Corporate Sponsor of Government Technology and e.Republic’s Virtual Conversation, “The Human Side of Security: Creating a Cyber-Aware Workforce.”

Date: February 28, 2023
Time: 10:00 AM PT / 1:00 PM EST
Speakers:

  • Glenn R. Marchi, Ph.D., Commissioner, Office of Central and Information Services for Dutchess County Government
  • Ray Yepes, Chief Information Security Officer, Governor’s Office of Information Technology, Colorado
  • Deb Snyder — Moderator, Senior Fellow, Center for Digital Government

Session Overview

e.Republic and Government Technology’s Virtual Conversation asks, “What if your organization’s most significant vulnerability could be transformed into its greatest cybersecurity asset?” A workforce that is well-versed in cybersecurity can serve as the initial line of defense against phishing attacks and ransomware schemes, as well as identify abnormalities that could indicate early warning signs of network breaches or system infiltration. At the very least, properly trained employees will refrain from jotting down passwords on sticky notes affixed to their computer screens.

This discussion delves into pragmatic approaches for enhancing security awareness and fostering a security-centric culture within government entities. The panel explores the fundamental elements that should be incorporated into security training programs, including how frequently training courses should be conducted, how to create engaging sessions and other critical components. They also share effective management strategies for incentivizing sound security practices and holding staff accountable for jeopardizing actions. Additionally, this session explores technology solutions that can secure end-user devices and safeguard employees against common cyber attack vectors.
