On Friday, March 6, 2026, from 2:00–3:00 p.m. EST, NACo EDGE will host a timely webinar focused on strengthening cyber resilience in county finance
operations.
County finance offices sit at the center of local government operations, managing payroll, vendor payments, tax revenues, and sensitive financial data. As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, public sector finance teams are increasingly being targeted. The webinar titled, “Cyber Resilience in County Finance: Protecting What Matters Most,” will address these concerns and feature Peter Forsgren, CTP, COO and Co-Founder of MACo Corporate Partner, three+one and Craig Holmes, National Director of Executive Relationships for NACo EDGE.
Attendees can look forward to a session grounded in real-world insights drawn from ethical hacking scenarios and cybersecurity risk assessments. The session will examine:
- How social engineering tactics target finance teams
- Emerging cybersecurity threats facing public sector entities
- Practical steps counties can take to safeguard financial systems, personnel, and sensitive data
As counties continue to digitize financial systems and expand online service delivery, understanding how vulnerabilities arise, and how to mitigate them, is critical. Cyber resilience is not only an IT concern; it is a fiscal stability issue.
Strengthening cyber awareness within finance teams helps protect:
- Public dollars
- Operational continuity
- Resident data
- Vendor relationships
- Long-term fiscal health
This session is particularly relevant for county administrators, finance officers, treasurers, budget directors, and IT professionals working alongside finance teams. Register here
