Cybersmart 2020

EVENT POSTPONED

The health and well-being of our employees, customers, partners, and communities are top priorities for Route Fifty and Nextgov and we have continued to monitor the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak closely.

Out of an abundance of caution, we have collectively made the decision to postpone CyberSmart Tampa originally scheduled for April 23, 2020.

Your interest in CyberSmart Tampa is highly appreciated! Please look for further communications as we finalize alternative plans for the event, as our goal is to reschedule for a later date.

While we regret any inconvenience that our decision may cause, we are committed to limiting the spread of this virus and safeguarding the health of our communities.

With the safety of infrastructure, data, and services at stake, governments at all levels across the country are prioritizing cybersecurity. In Florida, governments are bringing together new resources and strategies to build dynamic partnerships that address cyber crime, minimize threats, and ensure resilience against attacks. At this event, Route Fifty and Nextgov will bring together federal, military, state, and local leaders to explore practical strategies for strengthening government’s cyber posture. Register today to hear tips from those at the forefront of combating cyber crime along with those recovering from attacks. Attendees will also have the opportunity to collaborate directly with their peers in government via a hands on workshop dedicated to mitigating ransomware threats via culture, training, and proactive preparedness.
