Join us on Thursday, January 15, 2026, Noon-1 p.m. Eastern

Critical Information Infrastructure Protection (CIIP) and cybersecurity are significant topics for New York State. The safety of vital systems, such as power grids, water supplies, and hospitals, is crucial for maintaining these essential services from threats such as cyberattacks.

In this webinar, noted critical infrastructure and cyber security expert Dr. Robb Shawe will examine governance models he assisted New York to implement to provide a high level of coordination and collaboration for responses to attacks and to aid in recovery.

With the rise in technology use, New York State has implemented strong governance models which organize how various agencies collaborate to secure information and develop critical infrastructure practices. These practices include regular security assessments, employee training, and incident response plans. Solid practices build confidence among the public that their essential services are secure and reliable.

Shawe will discuss how combining good governance, firm practices, and clear escalation procedures is vital for protecting critical information infrastructure and enhancing cybersecurity in New York.

The 60-minute webinar concludes with a moderated live question-and-answer period.
