The Office of the State Comptroller has developed five new “10-minute Tech Talk” cybersecurity training webinars for local government officials with weekly releases planned throughout October in recognition of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli announced.
As threats and attacks from malicious actors continue to become more sophisticated and commonplace, the importance of training for the "people" part of a cyberdefense has grown even more critical.
The trainings were developed by DiNapoli’s Division of Local Government and School Accountability’s Applied Technology Unit. The theme for this year's campaign is "See Yourself in Cyber," highlighting the critical roles that all people play in cybersecurity.
The trainings include:
- Cybersecurity Foundations, released Oct. 3.
- Software Management, released Oct. 12.
- Multifactor Authentication, released Oct. 17.
- Passwords, to be released Oct. 24.
- Phishing, to be released Oct. 31.
In addition to the new series, prior years’ Cybersecurity Awareness Month webinar series are also available on the Comptroller’s website, as are several other webinars and a wide variety of user-friendly publications designed to be further cybersecurity education.
DiNapoli's office will be surveying local governments in the weeks ahead on cybersecurity issues.
Track state and local government spending at Open Book New York. Under State Comptroller DiNapoli’s open data initiative, search millions of state and local government financial records, track state contracts, and find commonly requested data.
