Municipal Cybersecurity: Knowing Your Risks
 

It's back! The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and the Municipal Information Systems Association of Ontario's (MISA ON) joint Municipal Cybersecurity 101 Forum returns this fall in time for Cybersecurity Month. This year's Forum is titled Municipal Cybersecurity: Knowing Your Risks.

Cyber security and the impacts of cyber incidents are top of mind for municipal governments. As gatekeepers of critical and sensitive data of your residents combined with often vulnerable networks and infrastructure, municipalities are seen as data treasure troves. With the constant threat of exposure, it is vital that municipal councils and administrators be vigilant and learn how to mitigate cyber risks.

At this Forum you will learn from leading cyber experts about the shared responsibility of cyber security and how you can build cyber security resiliency across your municipality and organization.

This Forum is open to elected officials and municipal staff only.
