In professional baseball, winning championships does not depend on having a large budget. Like talented members of a pro-league team, there are some government agencies that just seem to “get it” when it comes to cybersecurity, despite being straddled with limited funding.
This week on Feds At the Edge, we’ve got an all-star lineup, including James Weaver, Secretary and State Chief Information Officer from the North Carolina Department of Information Technology will lead the way through how their prevention system which includes a Joint Cyber Task Force could be a model for other states, even while leveraging federal initiatives and taking advantage of training programs. He also delves into the gap in cybersecurity defenders with over 21,000 job openings in his state alone at a time when need is at a critical high.
Eudora Fleischman, IT Infrastructure and Cyber Security Division Manager of the City of Fairfield, CA, highlights programs by the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) that offer guidelines, working groups, and funding presentation assistance to local governments and educational institutions.
Experts agree that one key part of preparation, partnering with experienced commercial organizations, is crucial for preventing cyber-attacks.
Tune in on your favorite podcasting platform as we explore how local governments and educational institutions can utilize these resources to compensate for limited cybersecurity funding.
