Deputy Executive Assistant Director Cyber and Infrastructure Security Agency
Presentation Description: The Emergency Communication Cybersecurity Centers (EC3) layer represents the opportunity to create a manageable core infrastructure to support cybersecurity for distributed emergency communications network elements. The Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has been actively engaged with public and private sector partners to understand the current environment of public safety communications cybersecurity and refine the EC3 concept. Come listen to how a centralized set of cybersecurity services, such as an EC3, enables public safety stakeholders to leverage economies of scale, and enhance shared governance, planning, and response operations. Learn how additional education and guidance may empower ECCs/PSAPs to prioritize cybersecurity requirements.
