NIST Cybersecurity Upcoming Webinar
In February of this year, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said in his opening statement to the Senate Intelligence Committee that cybersecurity is his "greatest concern" and "top priority," putting it ahead of threats like weapons of mass destruction and terrorism. Resident cybersecurity expert and LRS Technical Instructor, Troy Stoneking, wants you to know that the United States is depending on all of you in IT to keep us safe!

On May 3, 2018 we will be hosting a FREE webinar to outline how the NIST Cybersecurity Framework will help you design a comprehensive, risk-based cybersecurity program in this time of grave threats. Watch for your invitation to join us and to receive 10% off your enrollment in one of our NCSF Cybersecurity courses after attending!
