The more integrated and interconnected digital systems get, the likelier they are to become targets. [Digital transformation comes at the price of increasing cybersecurity risks](https://apolitical.co/solution-articles/en/apolitical-view-cyberattacks-the-dark-side-of-digital-transformation). Advancements in technology and geopolitical tensions create the perfect storm: high incentives for hacking paired with low barriers to entry. Compounding this is what the World Economic Forum’s Centre for Cybersecurity describes as “[a global shortage of nearly 4 million cyber professionals.](https://www.weforum.org/stories/2024/10/cybersecurity-threats-in-2024/)” Now more than ever, public servants must stay vigilant against the threats they face. This session brings together global cybersecurity experts for an in-depth briefing. They will examine the current threat landscape for governments, reveal popular techniques used to infiltrate systems, and provide actionable strategies for public servants to defend against them. --- *Interested in how Apolitical can support you and your organisation?
