Learn more about cybersecurity preventative measures at #MACoCon. 

It is going to happen! No matter how prepared you are for a cyber attack, someone will eventually breach a firewall or find a back door. The the 2020 Summer Conference, MACo is dedicating two special panels to discuss both preventative measures in cybersecurity and best practices in responding to successful cyber-attacks. This panel will cover the response side, detailing how governments should respond when a breach finally does happen.

Title: After the Attack: Response Planning for System Breaches

Description: The best laid defensive plan can be overcome with either new technology or innovative strategy. For government entities, quick response and recovery are crucial to restoring and maintaining public service and, often, public safety. In the second part of this two-part cyber series, presenters will discuss best practices for responding to cyber breaches.

Speakers:

• David Warnick, Director of IT, Cecil County
• Christina Majernik, Director of Cyber Security, Skyline
• Ben Yelin, UMD

Moderator: Delegate Pat Young
