Cybersecurity Transformation for Public Sector Entities: Consolidate and Automate - Don't Complicate

5:30pm – 8:00pm ET | Raleigh, NC

Event Overview

State and local governments share unique challenges with educational institutions: Cybersecurity is not their primary business function, and yet they have vast amounts of critical data assets that adversaries actively seek. 

Because of this, these entities are consistently under attack by DDoS, ransomware and other increasingly advanced attacks, and yet their security organizations continue to struggle with legacy technology, manual processes, increased complexity and significant resource constraints. 

What, then, does cybersecurity transformation look like for these organizations? How can they overcome resource constraints, increased complexity and advanced attacks to truly gain more visibility, automate processes and improve their attack surface management? 

Join this dynamic roundtable discussion with industry peers to discuss new cybersecurity transformation strategies specifically for state and local government agencies and educational institutions.

DISCUSSION POINTS

  • The merits of consolidating on a single cybersecurity platform, as opposed to best-of-breed
  • How to gain greater value and visibility from your tools
  • The emerging role of AI in helping counter resource constraints and personnel allocations
  • And as the title says, how to consolidate and automate – without further complication
