The Academy for New York State's Local Officials

Effective Cybersecurity Awareness Training – Part 1

10:00 AM - 11:00 AM

Cybersecurity awareness training is required to comply with New York State laws and regulations, and is often needed to qualify for cyber insurance policies. Furthermore, effective training is crucial to help prevent inadvertent data breaches and to protect information technology (IT) systems from unauthorized access and use. This webinar will discuss training topics and other items that are key to ensuring effective cybersecurity awareness. We will also share strategies for assessing training effectiveness, such as employee surveys, phishing simulations and incident reporting trends. This session is part of a 2-part live webinar series for local government and school officials as the OSC is proud to once again recognize October as National Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
