Overview

June 29

Cyberthreats are increasing daily, with state and local governments being prime targets. Optimizing Microsoft Azure for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are proven methods to strengthen your cyber defenses. If you're not currently utilizing these techniques, then you won't want to miss this webinar!

You're the one responsible for securing endpoint devices, managing identity and access, and fortifying application security and Microsoft Azure provides a valuable way for you to improve cybersecurity with tools your agency is likely already paying for.

While it feels overwhelming to analyze vast amounts of your agency's data to accurately calculate and mitigate risk, that's where AI and ML can help. These tools can analyze and identify a diversity of threats far more quickly and precisely than any human could.

Join us on June 29, 2023, for a special 45-minute webinar on how Microsoft Azure – and related solutions such as Intune and Sentinel – can help you advance your cyber maturity without investing in new technologies. We'll also cover how AI and ML can help you and your agency stay ahead of cybercriminals with the latest technology.

Our panel of public technology leaders and industry experts will include the IT Director for Spotsylvania, Virginia, which leveraged an identity management service to enhance access management and provide a single sign-on experience for users.

During this live, interactive webcast, you will learn how governments can:
· Implement and maintain up-to-date security measures on endpoint devices
· Use Microsoft Azure Active Directory to improve identity and access management
· Remove barriers to more effective government with AI and ML tools
