Cybersecurity is one of the most important issues facing our nation. In our increasingly digitized world, where most people rely on technology to get through the day, Americans are more vulnerable to cyber attacks than ever before.
By educating government leaders and staff – the frontlines of our democracy – on cybersecurity best practices, we are defending against potential attacks.
The ecosystem
of cybersecurity
The training begins with covering what cybersecurity is, and why it matters. We invite guests from across the business and political spectrums to speak about state and local system attacks, and small and large business attacks. There is hope, and through the training you will be set up to be a strong defense against cyber attacks – both personally and for your state.
Why and how Cyber
attacks work
During this portion of the training, we describe the most common attacks and the vulnerabilities they exploit. Our team showcases how larger systems can get attacked, and why these attacks succeed. We give you simple steps to protect yourself and your state, county, or municipality from data breaches, password attacks, SIM swapping, and phishing attempts.
How to protect
Yourself
The final piece of the trainings are these easy steps to protect yourself and your state from attacks. We use our proprietary tagline “Don’t Get D.U.P.E.D”.
