Parham Eftekhari, Executive Director at the Cybersecurity Collaborative, and Hemant Desai, Chief Information Officer at the International City/County Management Association (ICMA), discuss the universal threat of cyber-attacks and the unique challenges local governments face as high-profile targets, including:

• What are best practices?
• What do we prioritize?
• How can we train a reluctant staff?
• How to translate between a city manager and the CTO role?
• How can we demonstrate urgency to gain more resources?
• What are realistic and measurable goals beyond did we suffer a major attack or not?
