TITLE:
|
|
Addressing the Emerging Mobile Cybersecurity Threats Facing State
and Local Governments
|
|
|
|
WHAT:
|
|
This webinar will share how protecting government systems is a
significant challenge for security teams, using statistics from
Cisco's (News - Alert) "2018 Annual Cybersecurity Report: Impacts on Government"
that shows mobile devices, data in the public cloud and user
behavior as key challenges facing government data security. The
webinar will specifically discuss:
|
|
|
|
|
• Why the government sector is seeing increasingly more
cyberattacks, as its technology is easier to hack than the private
sector's, mainly through hosing host highly valuable data with
limited ability to manage system down time
|
|
|
|
|
• How Zimperium detects known and unknown mobile threats through
machine learning-based detection, on-device vs. cloud-based
detection and privacy controls
|
|
|
|
WHY:
|
|
As all forms of government agencies rely on mobile technology to be
connected, the number and cost of cyber attacks on the public sector
is growing rapidly. Accenture's (News - Alert) 2017 "Cost of Cyber Crime Study"
shows the average cost of a successful public sector cyber breach in
2017 increased by $1.43 million over the previous year to a whopping
$8.2 million. Many experts believe this growth is exasperated by the
public sector's technology being easier to access and hack. This
further shows why state and local governments need advanced
technology to detect and stop mobile cyberattacks.
