Addressing the Emerging Mobile Cybersecurity Threats Facing State and Local Governments

The number and cost of cyber attacks on the public sector is growing. According to Accenture’s 2017 “Cost of Cyber Crime Study,” the average cost of a successful public sector cyber breach in 2017 increased $1.43 million over the previous year to $8.2 million. Experts indicate that state and local governments are being increasingly targeted because their technology is easier to hack than the private sector’s, they host highly valuable data and they have a limited ability to manage system down time.

Unsurprisingly, protecting government systems is a significant challenge for security teams. Mobile devices, data in the public cloud and user behavior were cited in Cisco’s “2018 Annual Cybersecurity Report: Impacts on Government” as key challenges facing government security teams.

In this on-demand Zimperium webinar, our presenters review how Zimperium detects known and unknown mobile threats, including:
- Machine learning-based detection
- On-device vs. cloud-based detection
- Privacy controls

Presenters:
- Karen Jackson, Former Secretary of Technology for the Commonwealth of Virginia
-Chul Yim, Director of State and Local Government Accounts for Zimperium
