Part 1: Cybersecurity in the Courts — a Big Problem That’s Getting Bigger

Fill out the form below to register for our October 18th webinar.

There was a time not long ago when cyberattackers solely targeted for-profit organizations, but their focus now has expanded to the public sector. As a result, cyberattacks on court systems are a very serious risk factor that increases every day — but they are not often discussed. Further, many available grants specially designed to help high-risk organizations such as the nation’s court systems, are not being leveraged due to a lack of awareness. This webinar — which will be led by Jason Franks, MCP’s cybersecurity analyst, and Morgan Sava, MCP’s marketing director — will explore the current risk environment and strategies and tactics for preventing cyberattacks. Specifically, participants will discover:

• How court systems are being attacked
• Real-life consequences of cyberattacks on court systems
• Why an MCP cybersecurity risk assessment can help prevent the unthinkable
• How MCP can help your organization leverage available grant opportunities
