What is CyberWorks?

CMS CyberWorks is an annual cybersecurity event that brings together industry experts, thought leaders, and CMS staff to explore the latest trends and best practices in the ever-evolving field of cybersecurity. With a focus on safeguarding digital privacy, managing cyber risks, and promoting secure online behavior, CyberWorks is designed to engage CMS privacy and cyber professionals across the enterprise.

Attendees can expect engaging sessions covering important topics such as privacy protection in the age of data breaches, advanced risk management strategies to combat cyber threats, innovative approaches to password management, and the importance of safe browsing habits in today's interconnected digital landscape.

Whether you're a seasoned cybersecurity professional or just looking to expand your knowledge and awareness in your daily work, CyberWorks will equip you to stay ahead of cyber adversaries and protect your organization's digital assets.

You can participate in CMS CyberWorks every October during National Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
