Countdown to Event
This Cybersecurity Summit is made possible through collaboration between the State of Oregon Enterprise Information Services Cybersecurity Services (EIS CSS) team and LBL Cybersecurity. By working together, we are creating a learning-focused event that provides trusted guidance, shared best practices, and practical approaches to strengthening cybersecurity preparedness.
Get ready for a new kind of cybersecurity learning experience!
This Cybersecurity Awareness & Preparedness Summit is designed to help organizations better understand today’s evolving cyber threats while building practical awareness, readiness, and response capabilities in a collaborative environment.
Unlike a full tabletop exercise, these sessions focus on high-impact presentations, guided discussions, and practical preparedness training that organizations can immediately apply within their teams. Participants will explore real-world cyber incidents, review incident response planning strategies, and learn about resources available to support public organizations before, during, and after a cyber event.
Are you ready to strengthen your organization’s awareness and preparedness?
