We're in an era of unprecedented digital interconnectedness. This new connected landscape has helped governments make major advances in service delivery and constituent experiences; it's also shined light on a clear need for comprehensive cybersecurity preparedness.
According to the latest study from the National Association of State CIOs, 50% of Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) report outdated technology as their biggest hurdle in addressing cybersecurity concerns. Nearly 70% of state CISOs rate the maturity of their data management governance as in the beginning stages, and over 60% of CISOs report gaps in staff competencies as a major barrier to addressing cybersecurity challenges. These statistics paint a concerning picture, but there are actionable strategies agencies can implement to safeguard against cyber threats and ensure operational continuity.
Join Government Technology and Hitachi for a webinar where our panel of industry experts will discuss proactive steps state and local governments can take towards enhancing operational resilience.

What We'll Discuss:
• Understanding Cyberattack Impact: Learn how cyber threats affect state and local governments and discover critical steps to strengthen defenses.
• Preparing for and Recovering from Cyberattacks: Explore actionable strategies to prepare for and recover from cyber incidents, minimizing disruption to services.
• Assessing Cybersecurity Posture: Gain insights into assessing your organization's cybersecurity, empowering you to mitigate vulnerabilities and enhance resilience

Backup and recovery is an outdated approach to ensuring your organization remains operational. There's too much data and complexity to rely solely on the traditional nightly backup-to-tape approach and hope that recovery works because testing your recoverability is difficult. True operational resilience requires a new perspective. One that expands on data protection capabilities and introduces unique attributes like immutable data, AI detection and monitoring, unified management, and rapid (and clean) recovery at scale.

Your key takeaways: 
- Ensure operational resilience for your mission critical applications 
- Make your data protection copies safe from malware 
- Use AI to look for malware and anomalous activity

Evolving from Backup and Recovery to Cyber and Operational Resilience

Some have called the rapidly evolving landscape of Artificial Intelligence the most revolutionary technology seen in four decades, placing it on par with such disruptive technology as the graphical user interface publicly introduced in the 1981, the mobile phone in 1983, and the internet publicly available in 1993.  In our fifth episode of our series, “Beyond Boundaries,” our speakers will discuss how a branch of AI called Generative AI is being deployed today, how this innovation is being leveraged as a competitive advantage, and what are some of the guiding principles to consider when implementing your Generative AI solution.  
 
Attendees will learn: 
• Who are the major players in the Generative AI market landscape, and what it means to organizations that adopt AI driven business strategies.
• What are the common barriers and pitfalls to AI success to be aware of when implementing your solution.
• How to jumpstart your AI initiative and what are the top considerations for your initial investment.

Orchestrating Operational Resilience in Financial Services

Cybercrime is a growing problem and all organizations, regardless of industry, are at risk of being hit by an attack. Solutions that help ensure availability of data and IT systems has never been more important and Hitachi has a unique solution for VMware based environments on Hitachi VSP storage. 

The solution is based on a combination of CyberVR and Hitachi Ops Center Protector. High level, the solution offers two things: 
• Quick recovery of large amounts of servers and data after an incident 
• Thin Digital Twins   

Quick recovery 
Recovery from traditional backups after a major incident involving many systems and large amounts of data normally takes days, if not weeks. With CyberVR it can be done in hours, even for large environments. Recovery is automated and orchestrated, to ensure dependencies between systems, and to ensure that they come up in the right order.   

Thin Digital Twins 
Thin digital twins are exact copies of the production environment running in air gapped environments that are isolated and protected, without risk of contact with other systems or the Internet. These digital twin environments can be used for a number of things. They are perfect for any kind of testing, for cleaning and hardening of systems, for forensics and triage after an incident, for training of personnel, for application validation, for running full-scale disaster test scenarios etc.

Beyond Boundaries: Next-Level Hybrid Cloud - More Workloads, Less Infrastructure

With the scare of a Silicon Valley Bank-led financial contagion averted, operational risk has returned to the forefront of chief risk officer (CRO) and risk management priorities.

Regulatory focus on operational resilience is highlighting the need for decisive, coordinated responses to new threats that are executed quickly across the organization. Firms are focused on next-generation data management techniques to support artificial intelligence (AI) enablement in risk. Financial crime compliance—anti-money laundering and know your customer (KYC)—is being transformed through the broad adoption of machine learning and early use cases for generative AI.

All this is making digitizing the risk back office a continuing priority and a central driver for risk technology investment through 2023 and beyond.

In this webinar, Ian Watson (global head of risk, Celent); Neil Katkov (director, risk, Celent); and Jeff Lundberg (Principal Product Marketing Manager, Hitachi Vantara) explore the critical technology priorities and investment areas that will shape the future of risk and compliance in financial services.

Key takeaways:
- When it comes to risk and compliance, what are the biggest priorities for CROs and what does this mean for their technology strategy?
- Looking to the future: How will technology alter the risk landscape for financial institutions? How will the risk landscape alter technology priorities for the next 3-5 years?
- Which risk and compliance technologies and product areas top the agenda for investment in 2023-24?
