Live from #MACoCon: Tanium Talks Cybersecurity
Tanium — the endpoint management and security provider built for the world’s most demanding IT environments — talks cybersecurity during a live recording of the Conduit Street Podcast at MACo's Summer Conference.
The rapid shift to telework and growing reliance on digital platforms present new challenges for government IT systems. Cybercriminals are aggressively targeting state and local governments with sophisticated cyberattacks that jeopardize sensitive information, critical infrastructure, public safety, and the delivery of essential services.
At the 2021 MACo Summer Conference, Chris Cruz, Tanium CIO for U.S. state, local, and education (SLED), joined a live recording of the Conduit Street Podcast for a fast-paced, Q&A-style discussion on current threat trends, best practices to maintain proper cyber hygiene, and tools and safeguards to identify potential threats, contain breaches, and remediate risk within seconds or minutes — not days or weeks.
