Overview

March 25

Your agency’s website is more than just a landing page—it’s where constituents find information, apply for services, and engage with their government. It’s your digital front door. But security doesn’t stop at the homepage. Behind every online form, data portal, and public-facing interface, there’s a complex infrastructure that needs just as much protection.

Cyber threats targeting government systems are becoming more sophisticated, and a single vulnerability—whether on the front end or deep in the backend—can disrupt essential services. How do you ensure both your public-facing websites and the backend systems stay secure?

Join Government Technology and Cloudflare for an expert-led session, where we’ll break down the evolving risks to government web applications and what agencies can do to stay ahead.

Here’s what’s in store:

Where attackers are looking – The latest threat trends targeting both public websites and the backend systems they connect to.
How to strengthen your defenses – Strategies to protect both constituent-facing applications and the unseen infrastructure behind them.
Why a unified approach matters – How a connectivity cloud model can help agencies secure, connect, and streamline IT environments without adding complexity.
