Ranking Member of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Protection, and Innovation to Address Best Practices for Cyber, IT and National Security Resilience in an Increasingly Virtual World
BURLINGTON, Mass., May 25, 2021 — Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), the global leader in critical event management (CEM), today announced that The Honorable Andrew R. Garbarino, Republican U.S. Congressman from New York, will speak at its Spring 2021 COVID-19: Road to Recovery (R2R) virtual leadership summit taking place this week, May 26-27. Congressman Garbarino will share his perspective on the role of government in ensuring emergency preparedness, response, and recovery, and bolstering digital and physical resilience for a post-pandemic world.
The two-day symposium will feature keynote addresses from world leaders including the 42nd President of the United States Bill Clinton, former United States Secretary of State Dr. Madeleine K. Albright, industry icons such as Chairman & Editor-In-Chief of Forbes Media Steve Forbes, as well as discussions with C-level business executives from Lululemon, Moderna, Volkswagen, Philips Domestic Appliances, Houston Methodist, Salesforce.com, Apollo Global Management, and many others across industries and global markets. Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), will also provide a ‘special guest’ address.
Congressman Garbarino serves as an American attorney and U.S. representative for New York’s 2nd congressional district. As the Ranking Member of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Protection, and Innovation, Congressman Garbarino also serves on the House Subcommittee on Emergency Preparedness, Response, and Recovery. The Congressman built a platform as a strong advocate and supporter of local law enforcement.
“Emergency preparedness is critical for public safety and national security,” said Rep. Garbarino. “From natural disasters to cyber-attacks, our public and private sectors must work together and utilize all available resources to prepare for emergencies and to mitigate the impact once an emergency occurs. Coordination among stakeholders, as well as the utilization of all available technology and tools, is essential for managing crises.”
Prior to his election to the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman Garbarino served four terms in the New York Assembly. During his tenure in the Assembly, he fought to increase state funding for Long Island school districts, to protect the environment, and to support local heroes in law enforcement.
“Given Congressman Garbarino’s active work on homeland security, including protecting national infrastructure, his insights will be relevant to all C-level decisionmakers and government officials focused on IT incident, cyber and emergency response management” said Brian Toolan, Head of Government Strategy at Everbridge.
The multi-year Everbridge symposium series offers global leaders a valuable forum to exchange best practices on how to protect people and business assets; build back and grow revenue streams; increase business resiliency; and mitigate potential threats like IT outages, cyber-attacks, natural disasters, and many other critical events. Speakers and participants represent all sectors of society from business and government, community organizations and advocacy groups, to science, medicine, transportation, sports & entertainment, and academia.
Last year, Everbridge welcomed President George W. Bush, Anthony Fauci, MD, Scott Gottlieb, MD, Sanjay Gupta, MD, U.S. General Colin L. Powell, USA (Ret.), and Virgin Group Founder Sir Richard Branson, among others, to serve as keynote speakers, and featured presentations by government leaders including Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves, Former Lieutenant Governor of Florida Carlos Lopez-Cantera, and Miami Mayor Francis Suarez.
