Overview

Cyber attacks are an active, evolving threat, and increasingly targeting public agencies of all sizes. In this episode of PRISM Perspectives, PRISM CTO Tom Pelster and CISA Cybersecurity Advisor Don Hester break down the real-world cyber threats facing public entities today; from global tensions to the rise of AI-driven attacks.

The discussion focuses on what “readiness” actually means in practice, including the role of Security Operations Centers (SOCs), common gaps in agency preparedness, and actionable steps organizations can take, even without dedicated cybersecurity resources.

Whether your agency has a mature cyber program or is just getting started, this episode delivers practical insights to help you strengthen your defenses, improve response strategies, and better understand the risks ahead.

PRISM Perspectives is a monthly risk management focused podcast, followed by a live open forum for participants to discuss their own challenges or share best practices on the topic of the day. Topics will range across the risk management spectrum, from risk control and risk management to finance, IT, HR, and more.

• 30 minute live podcast session (recorded)
• 30 minute open floor (not recorded) for you to ask questions, discuss issues, and share insights
