Overview

Watch Now

Cybersecurity risks for state and local governments are both escalating and evolving. The rapid shift to remote work created a new landscape of vulnerabilities that potentially expose government agencies to ransomware attacks and other security exploits. And a massive supply chain attack at the end of 2020 -- which impacted public- and private-sector organizations nationwide -- offers what may be a preview of highly complex and sophisticated threats on the horizon.

Government Technology is gathering a small group of cybersecurity leaders for a conversation around how to plan for, mitigate and respond to these evolving risks. Along with our partner, Palo Alto Networks, we’re organizing a virtual roundtable that will explore issues such as:

  • Key security challenges and priorities for you and your peers
  • How your organization is evolving security strategies and plans to respond to today’s risk environment
  • How you’re using or plan to use new tools such as automation and AI to improve threat detection and response
