The Impact of Trickbot and How It Affects State Infrastructure

In a recent report by SecurityScorecard titled “State of the States’ Cybersecurity”, it was uncovered that thirteen states are infected with the Russian “TrickBot” malware that was feared to have consequences for the U.S. election. With the election in the rearview now, this is still an important issue as states act as the implementation arm for a host of federal policies. From disaster relief to pandemic response to education and health care, state information systems are critical infrastructure that is vital to our national security. The malware infections and unpatched vulnerabilities that SecurityScorecard found in its report are simply indications of a more fundamental challenge. During this webinar, Alex Heid will discuss the report findings in detail as well as provide insight into how the states’ can vastly improve their cybersecurity posture.
