Dear Gov1 Subscriber,

"The threat of cyberattacks, especially ransomware attacks, against public safety is real," writes Editorial Director Greg Friese. This is, of course, no news to local governments nationwide, which have been bombarded with such attacks in recent years. And the costs are adding up

Panelists will discuss recent cyberattacks and threats on public safety agencies and detail how your agency can develop a defensive strategy for these unprecedented attacks. Register here
