CA Cybersecurity Education Summit
The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically increased the State of California’s reliance on virtual tools for meetings, shopping, education, healthcare and government services. Moving quickly to virtual environments also opened the door for a greater number of cyberattack attempts on information technology assets in California, across the country and throughout the world. Organized cybercriminal groups have increased phishing, ransomware and other cybercrimes against government entities, healthcare organizations, public utilities, education facilities and corporations. The 2022 State of California Cybersecurity Education Summit, hosted by the California Department of Technology (CDT), the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES), California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the California Department of Military (CalGuard), will include cybersecurity leaders from state and local government throughout California.
