Silent Emergency: Cyber Threats to Critical Communications Systems
Public safety communications face unprecedented cyber threats that directly impact system availability. This session examines the strategic implications of cyber vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure including Land Mobile Radio (LMR), 9-1-1 call handling, and computer-aided dispatch (CAD) systems. Analyze recent high-profile incidents affecting public safety and provide clear strategies for strengthening your agency's security posture, as well as learn how to leverage threat intelligence through the Public Safety Threat Alliance (PSTA) and implement best practices to safeguard your organization and ensure the availability of emergency communications.
