Cybersecurity Resources

The National Association of Counties’ (NACo) Cybersecurity Leadership Academy is offering online cyber simulations free of charge to all NACo member counties. These simulations are designed for cybersecurity managers, their teams, and others in the county responsible for risk defense, protection, and recovery (including managers in HR, policy management, finance, public safety and emergency services). There are four weeklong simulations designed to take approximately 45-90 minutes per day for one week. Activities can be completed on the participant’s schedule. Register soon to take advantage of this opportunity. Please contact Rita Reynolds, NACo Chief Information Officer, at rreynolds@naco.org for additional information.

SCAC recently partnered with Willis Towers Watson Insurance Company to offer a free cybersecurity webinar for South Carolina counties. To access SCAC’s Cybersecurity Strategies for County Government webinar the Association hosted in 2018, visit SCAC’s online educational library. These webinars provides an overview of cyber security issues and serve as a good starting point for those seeking to gain greater understanding of this emerging threat.

SCAC is committed to providing cybersecurity resources to counties. For additional information or questions, please contact John Henderson, SCAC Director of Insurance Services, at jhenderson@scac.sc or (803) 252-7255, ext. 327.
