Cyberattacks, scams and fraud are no longer just IT issues—they are threats that can disrupt critical services, compromise sensitive information and impact your county’s ability to respond during an emergency. This session will explore the growing threat of cyber incidents and the role county staff and emergency management directors can play in helping their counties prepare, respond and recover. Guest speakers from the Kentucky State Police and Homeland Security will share real-world case studies of fraud targeting local governments. Cybersecurity experts and KACo Insurance team members will provide practical guidance on protecting critical systems and data, coordinating response efforts, maintaining continuity of operations and strengthening your county’s overall preparedness for a cyber incident.
