Published by the White House, this plan is a result of President Biden’s March 2023 Cybersecurity Strategy, which laid out a bold, affirmative vision for cyberspace.  Achieving the President's cybersecurity vision requires coordinated action across the United States government and American society. The National Cybersecurity Strategy Implementation Plan is a road map for this effort.  While it does not expect to capture all cybersecurity activities being carried out by agencies, it describes more than 65 high-impact initiatives requiring executive visibility and interagency coordination that the federal government will carry out to achieve the strategy's objectives. Each initiative is assigned to a responsible agency and is associated with a timeline for completion.  Some of these initiatives are already under way and will be completed by the end of Fiscal Year 2023. The Office of the National Cyber Director will work with the Office of Management and Budget to ensure that funding proposals in the President's budget request are aligned with activities in the implementation plan. This is the first iteration of the implementation plan, a living document that will be updated annually. Initiatives will be added as the evolving cyber landscape demands and removed after completion of guidance on implementing school safety protocols to reduce the risk of violence in our school communities.  

Funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) and the National Center for School Safety, this conference is for BJA STOP program grantees and will focus on implementation. The conference will provide engaging sessions, panel discussions, and networking time to enable attendees to walk away with practical knowledge and a greater feeling of connectedness with other grantees.  It is an opportunity to gather in person to generate and share innovative school safety solutions and share with others some lessons learned along the way.

This webinar will describe the basics of deconfliction and how to access free resources, while strengthening your investigations and promoting critical officer safety.
