Cybersecurity can feel daunting—especially after a recent assessment highlights gaps, risks, or vulnerabilities. For many local health departments (LHDs), the hardest part isn’t completing the assessment itself—it’s figuring out what to do next.
If you’ve ever looked at an assessment report and thought, “Okay… now what?”—you’re not alone.
Local health IT teams across the country are navigating limited resources, growing cyber threats, and increasing expectations to protect sensitive public health data. Turning assessment findings into meaningful, achievable improvements can feel overwhelming without a clear roadmap.
That’s why the Local Health IT Community of Practice (LHIT) is hosting an upcoming partner webinar designed specifically to help move teams from assessment to action.
Webinar: Now What? Moving From Public Health Cybersecurity Assessment to Full Protection
📅 February 4, 2026 | 1:00–2:00 PM ET
🏛️ Hosted by: Local Health IT Community of Practice
Why This Conversation Matters
Cybersecurity assessments are an essential first step—but they’re only useful if they lead to real improvements. Many LHDs face similar challenges after an assessment:
- Too many findings and not enough clarity on where to start
- Uncertainty about what’s urgent vs. what can wait
- Limited staff capacity or technical expertise
- Reports that explain risks but don’t show how to fix them
This session is designed to bridge that gap by focusing on practical, real-world implementation, not just theory or documentation.
What You’ll Learn
During this webinar, NACCHO staff will walk through:
- Why the cybersecurity assessment was conducted
- What the assessment process looked like
- How the findings are shaping next steps and priorities
In addition, NACCHO’s Diamond Partner, Cycurion, will provide actionable guidance on how to:
- Translate assessment findings into clear, achievable cybersecurity improvements
- Prioritize remediation steps based on risk and capacity
- Move from reports to implementation with realistic examples
Their partner-led demonstration will focus on what actually works in practice—especially for organizations with limited time and resources.
Key takeaway: You’ll leave with a better understanding of how to turn “areas of concern” into concrete actions your team can realistically take.
Who Should Attend?
This webinar is ideal for:
- Local health department IT leaders
- Informatics and data professionals
- Public health staff involved in technology, security, or compliance
- Teams at any stage of their cybersecurity journey—from early planning to advanced implementation
Whether you’re just starting to address cybersecurity or refining existing protections, this session offers relevant insights.
