In this presentation, we explore the necessity and benefits of outsourcing cybersecurity. This includes various aspects, such as the critical role of modular emergency call centers (ECCs), real-world case studies, and possible challenges and risks associated with outsourcing. It also delves into best practices for vendor selection, the importance of regulatory compliance and future trends in the field. We bring it to a close by emphasizing the need to balance risk management with innovative approaches in cybersecurity and providing a comprehensive view of the current landscape and its future direction.
Learning Objectives:
At the culmination of this session, participants will be able to better evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of outsourcing cybersecurity in their ECC. They will be able to articulate key points, such as cost-effectiveness, access to specialized skills, potential dependency issues, and confidentiality concerns, demonstrating an improved understanding of the balance between risk and innovation in cybersecurity outsourcing.
Participants will better be able to apply best practices in selecting and collaborating with cybersecurity vendors. By the end of this session, they will be equipped to assess vendor capabilities, ensure regulatory compliance, and foster effective partnerships.
Participants will develop the skill to anticipate and prepare for future trends in cybersecurity outsourcing. They will be able to identify and discuss emerging technologies, such as AI and machine learning, and their implications for cybersecurity in public safety.
