Agency for State Technology and Florida National Guard Host Cyber Security Training

Posted on August 15, 2017

The Agency for State Technology (AST) in collaboration with the Florida National Guard is hosting cyber security training this week for state agency information technology and security professionals to learn how to combat potential cyber incidents.
“We often say, it’s not a matter of IF – but WHEN, a cyber security incident will occur. We need to constantly train our security professionals since the types of threats are always evolving. This exercise provides a hands-on opportunity to mitigate a simulated real-life scenario using the tools and techniques that will be deployed during an actual security event,” said AST Executive Director and State Chief Information Officer Eric Larson.
Training groups will participate in potential real-world cyberattacks and will learn how to identify, mitigate and remediate such threats.
“The cyber threat is real. The Florida National Guard takes the threat seriously and is honored to be able to partner with other state agencies to hone our current cyber defense skills as well as learn new techniques in the battle against cyberattacks. Additionally, these trainings bring agency security professionals together and build relationships that will benefit the State when a cyber incident occurs,” said Lt. Colonel Gray Johnson, Chief Information Officer/G6 for the Florida Army National Guard.
