This webinar is the first in a series of three webinars sponsored by the IJIS Institute’s Information Sharing Safeguarding (Cybersecurity) Task Force. In this first webinar, presenters will discuss increasing concerns over cyber threats that have made cybersecurity a policy priority. News about high-impact attacks of large enterprises has become common place – government and public safety systems are not immune to security incidents. In response to this growing threat, state, local, tribal and territorial governments are starting to develop and implement cybersecurity approaches to manage risks.  Presenters will explain White House Executive Order #13636 Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity that includes a systematic process for identifying, assessing, and managing risk across your operational environment. The use of standards, policies, and procedures enacted by nationally respected groups like NIST are a good place to start.

Moderator: James Emerson, Chair of the IJIS Information Safeguarding

Task Force Presenter: Mike Alagna, Motorola Solutions
