AT&T collaborated with the National Cyber Security Center (NCC) to host a conference with more than 100 first responders this August. Gov. Hickenlooper kicked off the conference, stressing the reality of cyber threats across Colorado and in the first responder community.

AT&T’s Chris Boyer, assistant vice president, Global Public Policy for AT&T, provided an overview of current cybersecurity threats and discussed efforts AT&T is making to ensure the resiliency and integrity of its network in response to threats and issues specific to first responders — the role of states in cybersecurity, key concerns for first responders and the role of a first responder in today’s cyber world.

A panel discussion was also held titled, Lessons Learned from Cyber Breaches.

The panel included:

Moderator: Pat Williams, Colorado Emergency Preparedness Partnership (CEPP)

Gary Briese, executive director, CO State Fire Chiefs — Communication Failure

Jerry Eastman, cyber analyst, CO Information Analysis Center — Opened Source Info

Alex Wood, vice president, Information Security and CISO, Pulte Financial Services — Risk Analysis
