Legislative Exchange: Cyber Security for Government Leaders

CSG West is grateful to partner again with the National Cybersecurity Center (NCC). A training will be held February 22, 2023, at 10:30 am (Pacific) intended to prepare government leaders and staff to be vigilant against cyber threats. It will to educate on the ecosystem of cybersecurity, common types of cyberattacks and best practices on how to protect individuals against cyber threats.

NCC launched Cyber for State Leaders which was featured in Governing, a cyber hygiene training for state leaders in 2021. They offered trainings in all 50 states and trained 1,342 state leaders as part of the program. While reaching out to only state leaders, they were bombarded with requests from others and staff at the local level to join the training as well. This training is a step towards expanding the training and strive to be more inclusive of all government leaders and their staff.
