What Planners and Public Sector Agencies Need to Know About Cybersecurity

With millions across the country now working remotely to curb the
spread of COVID-19, cybersecurity and data protection issues are
top of mind for just about everyone. Phishing attacks have
increased. The term "Zoom bombing" has entered the lexicon. What
should planners do to make sure their agency's data and
communications are safe? APA's Jo Peña talks with Nupur Gunjan, a
public sector analyst at Cisco. Nupur is a trained planner who
transitioned to the tech world after working for the City of
Austin, Texas. Her experience with local planning and tech uniquely
positions her to share advice with communities who are using online
engagement tools. The two focus on what planners need to know about
data protection and online public engagement right now, but also
what they can do to protect their communities in the future.
