Overview

November 2

Moving to the cloud is a vital part of becoming an agile, modern, digital organization. But cloud doesn’t just improve efficiencies and enable smarter hybrid work environments – it’s also a key part of improving data security.

With the rise of ransomware and other cyber threats, state and local government agencies are working hard to strengthen their security and data protection strategies. Cloud platforms offer a higher level of security, cyber resilience and data protection than many on-premises systems – especially for agencies struggling with budget constraints and gaps in their IT workforce.

On November 2, join us for an invaluable 30-minute webinar on the security benefits of moving to the cloud. Our panel of experts will discuss:

How cloud improves data security for government organizations
The policies and procedures your organization needs to implement a shared responsibility model with cloud providers
How to take advantage of the federally funded State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP)
