VEMS 2022 - By our powers combined: converging cybersecurity & emergency management (Breakout Session-E4)

Hybrid Incidents, those with a significant cyber and physical component, are becoming more prevalent and impactful year after year. From Colonial Pipeline to JBS to civil unrest events, there is a growing need to establish a proper common operating picture not only inclusive of both cyber and physical security, but one that incorporates the preparedness and recovery philosophies of emergency management as well. This presentation will look at the growing impact of cybersecurity in the emergency management space, the roles emergency managers can play within cybersecurity incidents, and how we are driving towards a more unified and inclusive approach to cybersecurity in the Commonwealth.
