37Cyber Incident Response %u2013 Lessons Learned from the TrenchesRedbud BConvener: Max Dibble, Phillips County CommissionerPresenter: Matt Meade, Partner, Eckert Seaman Cherin and Mellott, LLCIt seems that almost every day we hear reports of another data breach impacting local government. Ransomware attacks and business email compromises continue to cause significant losses of time, productivity and money for county and local governments. Data breaches are often the result of an escalating series of failures which include lack of monitoring, lack of preparation, lack of adequate employee training designed to increase awareness of risky behavior and incomplete or nonexistent evaluations and protections involving vendors and other third parties who receive or have access to valuable data from the organization. Through a series of hypothetical incidents participants will work through the twists and turns of several data security incidents. In this practical and interactive session, participants will: (1) receive tips for increasing organizational awareness of cybersecurity risks; (2) examine the challenges of managing and responding to a cyber incident; (3) gain a high-level understanding of breach notification laws; and (4) learn about best practices to create a culture of cyber awareness.Aging Services and the Role of Local GovernmentsRedbud CConvener: Terry David, Rice County CommissionerPresenter: Laura Howard, Secretary, Kansas Department for Aging and Disability ServicesDuring this presentation, we will describe the federal and state statues associated with community-based services for Kansas seniors.
