The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Region 3 (District of Columbia, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia) invites you to join a two-hour security webinar to enhance your organization’s resilience in case of an active shooter incident.
Preparing employees for a potential active shooter event is an integral component of an organization’s incident response planning. Because active shooter incidents are unpredictable and evolve quickly, preparing for and knowing what to do in an active shooter situation can be the difference between life and death. Every second counts.
