30% States in join Joint Cybersecurity Operations Command Center  

What is happening? By the end of 2022, 30% of states will join the  Joint-Cybersecurity Operations Command Center. The Center was founded in North Dakota. 20% of states are currently members of the Center that facilitates interstate cooperation on cybersecurity and threat intelligence. 

Why is this important? “If one state is being attacked, the others will most likely be targeted next,” North Dakota’s Chief Information Security Officer Michael Gregg said in a statement.

How will this be important? Prior to the Center’s formation there was no response sharing, and now more than 13,000 organizations including state and local governments, providing “incident response and remediation.”
