SANTA ANA, Calif.—Multiple local and federal agencies came together May 4 to train against cybersecurity threats in Orange County, including real-life scenarios of cyber incidents that could affect the county’s infrastructure and operations.

Known as the Cyber Disruption Resiliency Workshop, the training brings together agencies such as the FBI’s OC Cyber Task Force, the Orange County Intelligence Assessment Center, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and others to strengthen interagency relationships for when a cyber-attack does happen.
