Watch Now

Cyberthreats are growing at an exponential rate against state and local governments. At the same time, the traditional cybersecurity approach isn’t sustainable from a resource perspective and brings its own risks in terms of unpredictable costs. Agencies must take a new approach and invest in sophisticated solutions around threat detection and response –without taxing already tight budgets.

On August 4 at 11am PT/2pm ET, Government Technology and Arctic Wolf join together to discuss a new approach to cybersecurity that cuts through the unpredictability and risk.
Register for this webinar to learn about:

· The current ransomware and cybercrime environment state and local governments face
· How to gain 24x7 threat detection and response that’s cost effective
· Successful strategies that grow your cybersecurity program to meet mandates and agency-specific needs
