Cyber Training
for Municipalities
Tailored training for the unique challenges of municipalities
Protect your community
In the face of growing municipal cyberattacks, every stakeholder needs to understand their role in reducing the likelihood and impact of a successful cyber incident. No municipality is too big or small to be targeted, and the results can be devastating – compromise of sensitive citizen data, disruption of critical services, financial loss, reputational damage, and more.
The Catalyst can help — with interactive training sessions tailored for elected officials and leaders, IT professionals, and other municipal staff.
