Cyberattacks Not Theoretical Anymore
Cybersecurity has entered the arena of modern conflict. Since the start of U.S. military operations involving Iran, cyber activity targeting critical infrastructure has escalated sharply here in the United States.
Energy systems. Water utilities. Healthcare. Local governments.
These are not hypothetical targets. They are active ones, and in some cases, operations have already been disrupted.
This is the new reality:
-Conflict doesn’t stay on the battlefield.
-It reaches into our networks.
-Our systems.
-Our communities.
At GoCyber Collective's May Breakfast Meeting, Netta Squires of Open District Solutions will address this moment head-on, focusing on the growing connection between cybersecurity and public safety.
Because when critical systems fail, the impact is immediate and real:
- Emergency services disrupted
- Utilities interrupted
- Public trust shaken
This isn’t about compliance.
This isn’t about checking a box.
This is about operational readiness.
The question is no longer whether cyber will impact your organization.
It’s whether you are prepared when it does.

Everything looks normal.
Your systems check out.
Your team trusts the data.
But the signal has been manipulated.
This is the reality of navigation spoofing—and it’s already impacting critical infrastructure, transportation, and operations around the world.
Join us for SparkSprints: Spoofing, a high-impact, interactive experience with the Digital Transformation Center at University of Dayton Research Institute and GoCyber Collective.
You’ll get a rapid briefing on real-world spoofing threats—and then step into a live, team-based scenario where you’ll have to make decisions in real time.
What do you trust when the data can’t be trusted?
How do you respond when the system is compromised?
This isn’t a lecture. It’s a test of judgment.
Because in high-stakes environments, hesitation—or the wrong call—can have real consequences.
Are you ready to make the call?

Cybersecurity Is Now a Leadership Responsibility
Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue. It's an operational, financial, and public trust issue.
For local government leaders, the expectations have changed.
Our Cyber for Local Government Executive Leadership workshop is built specifically for decision-makers who are responsible for protecting their organization, their teams, and the communities they serve.
This one-day, 8-hour session focuses on what matters most at the leadership level:
- Establishing strong cyber hygiene across your organization
- Understanding audits, risk, and accountability
- Navigating cyber insurance and financial exposure
- Breaking down Ohio’s HB 96 requirements
- Aligning leadership, IT, and public safety response
This is not a technical deep dive. It’s a strategic session designed to help leaders ask the right questions, make informed decisions, and build a more resilient organization.
Because when a cyber incident happens, leadership is no longer on the sidelines.
You are part of the response.

Following the wildly successful Certified Red Team Fundamentals workshop last month, GoCyber Collective and CyberProAI are teaming up for another vital workshop to strengthen your cyber defenders and your organization's cyber posture with our new workshop, Inside SOC: Critical Blue Team Operations.
Participants will take on the role of a Security Operations Center (SOC) analyst at a fictitious organization, working to identify indicators of compromise and determine how an attacker gained initial access.
Key Take-Aways
·Initial Access: Identify how the attack originated
·Lateral Movement: Analyze how the attacker moved through the environment
·Discovery: Understand how the attacker explored and identified systems
·Endpoint Analysis: Investigate Windows-based systems using Splunk Enterprise
This is a great team experience to develop critical skills and ratchet up your organization's cyber defenses.
Donuts, Coffee, and lunch are included. Register NOW!

What's Your Plan?
Ohio's cyber laws have changed. You are now required to have an Incident Response Plan.
Not a document.
Not a template.
A plan your team can execute under pressure.
With Ohio House Bill 96 now in effect, every political subdivision in Ohio, including municipalities and school districts, must be prepared to respond to a cyber incident.
The question is: Is your team ready when it happens?
GoCyber Collective and CyberproAI's "Incident Response" (2-Day Workshop) is built to answer that question. This live, instructor-led course puts your team into realistic cyberattack scenarios, training them to detect, contain, investigate, and recover in real time.
You won’t just learn theory. You’ll leave with a practical Incident Response Playbook for your organization.
Vitals:
Date: July 28–29, 2026
Time: 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM (Online)
Price: $3,000 per attendee (group rates available)
If you’re responsible for IT, cybersecurity, or organizational risk, this is essential.
