Cybersecurity and Innovation Challenges

Over 70 governments were hit with vicious cyber attacks in 2019, and many attacks likely went unreported. We want to start the year with a perspective on the threats facing cities today and a discussion of new strategies and solutions for protection.

We’ll also officially open an invitation for innovative solutions targeting the civic challenges we announced last month (below and on our website).

We’ll have both conversations at our first Civic Lab of the year, and we’re thrilled to host it at the new Cherry Creek Innovation Campus! The recently opened high school innovation campus is a national beacon for experiential learning in high-demand workforce areas, many of which are essential components to smart cities: cybersecurity, robotics, aeronautics, engineering and so much more! Come experience one of the nation’s premier learning facilities applying innovation to education and preparing students for the jobs of today and tomorrow.

Our Civic Labs offer opportunities for our membership to engage on topics of importance to building smarter cities, from cybersecurity to mobility. This Civic Lab will be celebrating the launch of a major new initiative, the Deployment Board, and it will focus on cybersecurity with an esteemed panel. A full agenda will be posted soon.

We’re thrilled to have the Mayor of Centennial, Stephanie Piko, join us to welcome the Alliance to her great City and discuss how Centennial is approaching smart cities.

Karen Worstell , CEO, W Wrisk Group LLC will also be attending. As the former Chief Security Officer at Microsoft, Bank of America and many other large companies, Karen will be sharing her perspective on threats facing cities and leading an engaging session on cybersecurity!
