Everyone has come to accept that it is not a matter of if, but when will we fall victim to a cyberattack? The speed at which they escalate can take agencies by surprise and lead to questions of what could have been done earlier. This live demonstration from the New York State Cyber Incident Response Team (CIRT) will show how easily a cyber attack can begin, how quickly it can unfold, and what proactive measures you can take to reduce your risk. |
