Many PSAP directors focus solely on software and hardware solutions, failing to consider that a total cybersecurity strategy includes technology, but also well-defined processes and fully-trained people. Equally important is a thorough understanding and implementation of cybersecurity best practices and recommendations.
It's time to protect your PSAP. APCO has partnered with SecuLore to offer these training events that will give you real life training that you can immediately implement in your PSAP.
