From now through October 28, NENA is accepting session proposals for the NENA 2017 Conference & Expo taking place June 3-8 in San Antonio!

Leading a session at a national NENA conference is a highly sought after role. It’s your chance to share your knowledge and experience with an informed and enthusiastic audience filled with 9-1-1 professionals eager to gain and share information.

Securing Your PSAP Against Cyber Threats
Wednesday, October 26 | 3PM Eastern (live) or On-Demand
$50 for NENA Members | $85 for Non-Members
Click here to register!

Already this year, more than ten public safety agencies have been attacked or breached by hackers interested in data theft, data corruption, or extortion. Protecting your PSAP against ransomware and other attacks starts with understanding how to think about information security. Without a working knowledge of available standards, needed policies, and basic terms, you won’t be ready to respond. This webinar will provide you with a brief introduction to:

• The NIST Cybersecurity Framework and NENA’s NG-SEC Standard;
• Recommended operating policies and response plans; and
• Common information security controls.
• We hope you’ll join us to learn more about protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data and critical safety-of-life systems like call-taking, CAD, and radio.

Presenter: Trey Forgety, NENA Director of Government Affairs

NENA Non-Mobile Wireless Service Interaction Information Document, NENA‑INF‑ 018.1-201X (DRAFT) is available for Public Review and Comment.
