Public Sector Tech Talk E06: Cyber Resiliency: How to Effectively Recover from a Cyber or Ransomware Attack
Event Overview
Cyber attacks against government agency and critical infrastructure networks are at an all-time high. Whether conducted by large-scale nation-state actors or “lone wolf” hackers, the data and information that resides in these networks is mission-critical and must be protected. With the release of the Cyber Executive Order (EO) in May and the $9.8 billion FY22 budget request for cybersecurity funding – just for federal civilian agencies – the Biden Administration is taking cybersecurity seriously. But what can agencies do when the inevitable happens? How can they most efficiently and effectively recover after a breach or attack? This episode focuses on cyber resiliency and the actions agencies can take to recover quickly.
