Leading Cyber Awareness in the State of Illinois
The State of Illinois has long since been a leader in the
cybersecurity realm. With the ever-increasing threat vector
presented by new age cyber threats, there is a constant back
and forth of threat identification and solution creation. Few
organizations are more open to these rapidly evolving threats
than that of the public sector.
Cybersecurity can no longer be a focus point of the C-Suite only, rather it must be the focus of the entire organization to be truly effective in today’s rapidly evolving threat environment.
Government Cybersecurity Roadshow Illinois will provide key insights into the current focus areas of cybersecurity leadership at state and local governments. With a keen focus on innovation, strategy development, and networking, the Roadshow will provide an overview of what your organization can be doing to cultivate a more cyber resilient organization.
These are areas of focus we will explore at Public Sector Network’s Government Cybersecurity Roadshow Illinois program. The half-day event will provide a unique opportunity to learn from public sector leaders across Illinois to discuss new technologies, challenges, solutions, and the way ahead for 2024 and beyond.
