While October is National Cybersecurity Month, keeping your personal information secure is something we focus on every day.

Here are a few of the ways we are proactive at preventing cyberattacks:

• Employ a full-time cybersecurity manager, supported by a robust Information Technology staff trained in spotting threats.
• Work with regional, state, and federal partners on the latest threats and alerts, which helps ensure our infrastructure is at its safest.
• Require all employees to complete trainings to help spot potential attacks.
• Scan all incoming emails and attachments for viruses and other malicious attachments.
• Require multi-factor authentication for employees who access County information online.
• Make it easy for employees to report potential threats in a judgement-free environment.
• Scan computer networks for abnormal or potentially dangerous activities.

While no one can completely eliminate risk, we’re committed to building a culture of security that keeps you and your information safe.
