In Rhode Island, state CIO Brian Tardiff said that his highest priorities in promoting cybersecurity are endpoint detection as well as identity and access management, particularly with the increased adoption of remote work. “We’re spending a lot of time and energy and getting the message out, getting the word out, talking about cybersecurity.” “The more awareness and information that we can share with them, the greater we are as a whole,” Zanow said. Zanow is focused on making security standards and policies more accessible and visible to local governments and K-12 schools. The same is true in Wisconsin, though state CIO Trina Zanow said her state’s approach to cybersecurity awareness training is a bit different from Arkansas. Askins said that mandatory executive branch awareness training is his main focus when it comes to building a better culture around cybersecurity in his state. Ransomware attacks, human error and phishing schemes are among the top five risks to cybersecurity today, according to an annual survey published Tuesday by the National Association of Chief Information Officers. “I think people confuse that sometimes, they think they have a culture of information security because they know about all the different threats that are out there, but they can’t tell you what their defense posture is,” Askins said at a conference on Tuesday. Cybersecurity continues to be the top concern of state chief information officers, but Arkansas IT Secretary Jonathan Askins recommended states focus on their defense postures rather than the threats themselves.
