Interview with Governor Doug Ducey
We are thrilled to sit down with former Governor Doug Ducey for a unique opportunity to hear first-hand about how Arizona became a national leader for cybersecurity advancements. Under Governor Ducey’s leadership, the State of Arizona prioritized cybersecurity as a critical component to homeland security and invested in resources to improve cyber resiliency across the state. Come hear how cybersecurity and technology innovation were a key part of the Governor’s achievements in modernizing state government and protecting citizens' data.
