Awareness of basic cyber threat essentials will continue to evolve, and continuous application of security measures and practice will continue to grow as cyber threats evolve. Local governments and municipalities continue to be high level targets for cyber criminals, so it is imperative to protect your organization from intruders and assist in reducing cyberattacks. This webinar will familiarize participants with the basics of cyberattack identification to protect a work environment from internet intrusion from cyberattacks. Cybersecurity for municipalities and governments focuses on addressing these increasing cybersecurity threats and challenges. As a frontline worker, our responsibility is to recognize common cyberattack scenarios as they present themselves and conduct proper data control techniques to minimize their impact. This webinar will cover common cybersecurity threats, such as phishing, known email scans, password security, scareware, ransomware, different types of viruses and malwares, and social engineering, along with best practices with techniques and tips to prevent your municipality or public sector institution from outside intrusion and interference.
