Cyber attacks are malicious attempts to access or damage computer or network systems. Cyber attacks can lead to loss of money, personal, financial, and medical information. These thefts can, in turn, damage your reputation and safety. Cyber attacks have wide-ranging effects on individuals, organizations, the community, and nation. Based on a recent assessment of Kitsap County, cyber attacks are rated a moderate risk threat.

The Kitsap County Department of Emergency Management (KCDEM) held a symposium in October 2019. There, local, state, and federal experts presented information on cyber security threats. Plans to repeat the event have been delayed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
