Program – Tampa

An examination of the cybersecurity risk landscape, recent incidents and root causes; explanation of key elements of cybersecurity; and a discussion about sector-specific threats to emergency communications centers (ECC) and emergency communications.

ECCs can benefit from centralized intrusion detection and prevention systems, which allow them to achieve economies of scale, gain access to multiple resources and plan for the future.

Overview of strategies ECCs can implement today to improve their cybersecurity posture, including cyber hygiene training, password and physical security, and working effectively with vendors.

Using a variety of simulations, scenarios and exercises, presenters will help attendees translate learning topics into practice.

Many new developments are occurring in the field of 9-1-1 location accuracy, presenting additional options for ECCs. Further, application-based products and services hold great promise for improving operations, provided they are secure, safe, interoperable and fit the mission. When it comes to location technologies and applications, there are a number of important considerations for evaluating these offerings.

So exactly what IS NG9-1-1? How will ECC equipment and systems change? Where are we now, where do we need to be, and how do we get there? Discussion will include interoperability, technology options, and RFP preparation, and will encourage out-of-the-box thinking about the ECC of the future.

Learn how ECCs – the nerve center of emergency response – will be impacted by the broadband environment, particularly with regard to operations, governance structures, the workforce and training needs.

Using a variety of simulations, scenarios and exercises, presenters will help attendees translate learning topics into practice.
