In Focus: Cyber Security

Practical workshops designed for WA local government

Recent cyber incidents globally and at home have had local government’s reevaluating their cyber security plans. They’ve asked, ‘Are we prepared?’, ‘what would we do if there was a cyber-attack?’ and importantly for local government, ‘what does our community expect of us?’ Unless you’re a cyber expert, it can feel overwhelming. LGIS has worked closely with our members to develop two practical workshops to support local governments in improving their cyber security position.

Cyber security workshops

These events are an excellant opportunity for IT and cyber professionals to share knowledge and connect with each other. The workshops have been designed in conjunction with WA local governments.

Review your exisiting controls and incident response plan before the workshop, then get ready to dive-in to these practical, hands-on sessions to uplift your local governments cyber security.

Each day will include:

  • Workshop 1: The Essential Eight
  • Break/lunch
  • Workshop 2: Cyber Incident Response Management

Connect and network

These events are an opportunity for IT and cyber professionals, alongside other cyber risk stakeholders to share knowledge and connect with each other. These sessions will also provide attendees with an understanding of cyber security and the language used, equipping local government staff to better as for and evaluate proposals to provide cyber security services. Third-party providers who support members are also able to attend these intensive and hands-on session when invited by an LGIS member.

To get the most out of your workshop, attend the one in your region to build local support networks.
