2024 has seen the emergence of what the FBI has described as the “defining threat of our generation:” an unprecedented new class of threats from nation-states who have embedded destructive sleeper codes in our critical infrastructure.
NLC, in partnership with 418 Intelligence and OAMtech, has developed a unique training program that will enable cities to upskill incumbent employees and transition them into certified cyber analysts. These analysts will be trained on a platform specially designed to support collaboration on a national scale.
