Improving Government Productivity and Efficiency using AI with Insight

Ransomware the Elephant in the Room: Navigating Cyber Insurance Industry Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Requirements.

Ransomware attacks have resulted in significant financial losses. Approximately 37% of global organizations said they were the victim of some form of ransomware attack in 2021, according to IDC's "2021 Ransomware Study." Average ransomware payments reached $812,000 in 2021, compared to $170,000 in 2020. Ransomware was involved in 75% of all cyber insurance claims during the first half of 2021. Cyber insurance is still widely available, but organizations will have to pay more and jump through extra hoops, such as implementing Multi-factor Authentications across their enterprise.

Coffee with NJ-GMIS & the MEL: Cyber Risk Management for NJ Public Entities

The MEL JIF and NJCE JIF represent about 70% of NJ’s public entities, and have developed a customized Cybersecurity Maturity Model for its members.  The model is thoughtfully structured considering the risks of its members, and the effectiveness, cost and complexity of the controls being recommended.  Not only will the Cyber program help members get to a strong security posture, but the recommended controls are also critical in obtaining Cyber insurance today.​

Coffee with NJ-GMIS & Granicus: Is the End in Sight? Or Is It Time to Turn Temporary Measures into Long-term Solutions? 

​Government agencies have been rapidly adjusting for the last 2 years and learning along the way. One of the most urgent tasks early in the pandemic was how to run public meetings virtually. Residents and staff have come to expect a digital option to participate in meetings now that it's been executed. However, demand to provide in person meetings continues. How can agencies truly adjust to a hybrid model of meetings to best serve their communities?
 In this NJGMIS Coffee Chat session, we'll be joined by Granicus and (soon to be announced), where we'll cover:

  • Running effective, inclusive hybrid public meetings
  • Creating meetings that can work with fluctuations in resident participation
  • How to handle an increase of public comments with increased engagement
