This session introduces the core concepts of cybersecurity through the lens of public service leadership. We’ll explore why cybersecurity is a critical issue for counties, who the threat actors are, and how real-world breaches have impacted local governments. You’ll gain a high-level understanding of the risks, the importance of staff awareness, and the concept of layered defense—all without needing a technical background. This is about understanding the “why” so you can lead with confidence and urgency.
