About this event
Local authorities are under growing cyber pressure – leaders are facing more frequent, more targeted attacks while balancing limited budgets, legacy systems, and rising regulatory expectations. In local government the consequences aren’t contained to IT or the organisations themselves; incidents can directly impact essential public services and communities.
This exclusive webinar is built for those leading cyber risk and resilience across UK local authorities at a strategic level. NCC Group experts will bring together frontline experience from across the public sector to explore what resilience really looks like for today’s councils.
We’ll cover:
From the evolving threat landscape to the critical first hours of incident response, and the practical steps needed to strengthen cyber maturity – you’ll leave with practical guidance on how to focus on what matters most to local authorities.
You’ll gain insight into how attackers are targeting local government, where councils are most exposed, and how organisations can prioritise action to reduce risk quickly.
If you are a senior cyber security leader or a strategic decision-maker in a UK local authority, this session will help you move from reactive firefighting to the more confident, proactive resilience that protects the public services communities rely on.
