WHAT: 

Government organizations at the federal, state and local level are focused on meeting increasingly stringent cyber security directives with shrinking budgets and limited resources. This session will explain how the State of Arizona addressed these challenges by adopting a new cyber risk management model that has enabled them achieve a level of cyber threat operations excellence which many private, better funded Fortune companies have yet to accomplish. The speakers will present repeatable cyber security best practices implemented by the State including attack susceptibility and validation, as well as quantification of risks based on operational data.
