MS-ISAC/RISTE 2025 Regional Event

May 28, 2025, 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM @ RIC- Alger 110

Sponsored by the MS-ISAC and Rhode Island College

Greetings!

We're pleased to invite you to our upcoming Cybersecurity Event for State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial (SLTT) employees within Rhode Island on Wednesday, May 28th, 2025, with doors opening at 8:00 AM for registration and the event to run from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM at Rhode Island College, Alger Hall, Room 110.

First, we apologize for rescheduling the March 21st RISTE event. This change allowed RISTE to develop a more comprehensive regional event in collaboration with the MS-ISAC, bringing you enhanced content and resources.

Event Highlights

This one-day workshop will focus on practical cybersecurity implementation for SLTT organizations:

• Morning Sessions: State and Federal partners to provide updates on SLCGP funding, emerging cyber threats affecting SLTT entities (including AI threats), and how MS-ISAC services can mitigate these risks.

• Afternoon Sessions: Deep dive into Control 3 (Data Protection) and Control 15 (Service Provider Management), including a PowerSchool data breach overview, followed by a networking opportunity to summarize key points and hear from Rhode Island SLTT employees about their experiences and challenges.

The day includes networking opportunities, interactive discussions, and a tour of Rhode Island College's Security Operations Center.

Event Details

• Date: Wednesday, May 28th, 2025

Coming Soon: A comprehensive agenda will be emailed to all registrants two weeks prior to the event. In the meantime, please look for our pre-event survey, which will focus on identifying your organization's top cybersecurity concerns, priority security tools for future procurement, and the types of technical or procedural support that would most benefit your SLTT entity. As the cybersecurity landscape evolves, the MS-ISAC is committed to aligning our future efforts with the changing needs of Rhode Island SLTT entities and our membership community as a whole.
