What’s In Store for 2023

The State of Texas has been leading the way in cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions. This has been an ongoing and much-needed driving force for collaboration and dynamic change in the state. Many acknowledge the serious threats that cyberattacks pose to the public sector, but cybersecurity is no longer something just for technologists to consider. In 2023, it is the responsibility of all team members – regardless of their title – to advance cyber defense.

Government Cybersecurity Roadshow Texas will provide insight into aspects of leadership, innovation, and cybersecurity solutions. From discussions on risk assessment methodologies to the implementation of effective management at scale, the roadshow will cover a broad spectrum of topics approaches to enhance our organization’s cyber resilience.

These are areas of focus we will explore at Public Sector Network’s Government Cybersecurity Roadshow Texas program. This half-day event will provide the ideal meeting place to learn from public sector leaders from across Texas and to explore innovative solutions for the cybersecurity challenges public servants around the state encounter.
