Cybersecurity Emphasis

Yes, I'm behind in my professional reading — aren't we all!

Here are some numbers and areas of emphasis when it comes to cybersecurity and the IT departments that support emergency management and other parts of government. 

• Priority-wise, cybersecurity remains the No. 1 concern for IT directors. 
• Interestingly, county IT directors rated Disaster Recovery and Continuity of Operations as their second priority

Cyberstrategies in Use:

• Ransomware Prevention and Response — 77%
• Cyberinsurance — 71%
• Data Encryption Enforcement — 56%
• Security as a Service — 41%
• Enterprise Security Operations Center — 35%

Thus, it remains clear that cybersecurity is a significant concern as we enter into 2019.
