Resolve to be Resilient in 2025: Region 8 Ready for New Year

Released

Lakewood, Colo. 

It’s been a busy year across all six states of Region 8. As we close out 2024, check our five tips for building resilience in 2025:

  1. Shop safely! It’s Holiday Shopping season and then weeks of happy returns. Update your devices, know your sources, strengthen your passwords, and check your bank statements to stay a step ahead of bad actors and fraud.
  2. Plan Ahead. At CISA, we lean into the future, helping you harden your defenses and build resilience through simple steps: identifying critical systems and dependencies; assessing risk; developing and testing plans; and facilitating adaptability. 
  3. Thank an Election Worker. #Protect2024 went smoothly, thanks to state and local election officials and all the volunteers who served as poll workers. CISA continues to support our state and local partners for election security before, during and after each election.
  4. Be Cyber-savvy. Bookmark our cyber advisories alert page and subscribe to our notifications to stay current with pertinent cybersecurity information for your home and office, systems, and staff.
  5. Add Region 8 to your team! Together we can #beresilient. What we all do counts. If you don’t know where to start at home or at work, contact us at Region 8!
In 2024, Region 8 joined partners like Denver-area fire departments and Red Rocks to honor Sept. 11 emergency responders, helped election officials in Utah and across the region test plans with tabletop exercises, focused on critical infrastructure sectors like water and wastewater as we did with Colorado Springs Utilities, and hosted our regional partners and stakeholders at our annual Infrastructure Resilience Conference, this year in Wyoming.
