Whole State of Cybersecurity

Cyber threats are growing, especially against state and local governments, as bad actors across the world try to exploit systems that have weak cybersecurity and so are vulnerable to attack.

But some states are fighting back against these threats by employing a whole-of-state cybersecurity strategy.

Relying heavily on information sharing across the different levels of government, offering shared services and partnering with private industry, a whole-of-state approach recognizes that an attack against one part of government is an attack against every part.

Implementation takes time and requires a lot of trust building among the various levels of government, but the benefits can be enormous as agencies learn to work together to deal with threats and upgrade their cybersecurity posture. More states are likely to follow their lead as governors, lawmakers and agency heads examine a future where cyber threats will only increase both in number and intensity.

Join us for this Route Fifty webcast to hear from several state and local government leaders who are employing a whole-of-state cybersecurity strategy and already feeling the benefits. Attendees will walk away from this event with a better understanding of:

• How to form a whole-of-state cybersecurity strategy.
• How it benefits all government agencies and encourages information and resource sharing.
• Lessons learned from implementing those strategies and how other states can follow suit.
