New Data Security Report Recommendations for States

What is happening? A new report from National Association of State Chief Information Officers and Deloitte says the best way for states to be prepared for data threats is to work closely and share information with local governmental entities and higher education institutions. There is a $1 Billion federal grant program to help.
