Pilot to Identify Local Government Hackers

What’s happening? A pilot program overseen by the Center for Infrastructure Assurance and Security at the University of Texas at San Antonio is here to help local governments be better prepared for hackers.

Why is this important? Local officials will be guided to  identify high value assets to better prioritize improvements to information technology infrastructure. Local Governments will also be aided to identify if they have staff that is certified and trained when. hack occurs.

How will this be important? Creative financing of data security for local governments are being proposed that would allow local governments to pool resources to address data security. Could pooling resources help other technical issues as well?
