Navigating the Matrix: Protecting Critical Infrastructure across an Evolving Threatscape Webinar

Threats involving ballistics, radical actors, cyber infiltration, extreme weather, drones, and more have created a complex set of challenges for all facets of critical infrastructure. Applying a holistic, all-hazards strategy to analyze threats and deploying the right tools to deter, detect, delay, and respond to incidents on multiple fronts can help build a security program that will be agile and scalable. Join us for a discussion on how to evaluate technologies and strategies and choose the right tools to meet the needs in this dynamic environment.
