With both security budgets and talent pools negatively affected by the ongoing pandemic, state and local governments are struggling to cope with the constant wave of cyber threats more than ever before, a Deloitte study reveals.
The study is based on responses from 51 U.S. state and territory enterprise-level CISOs.
Key themes
- COVID-19 has challenged continuity and amplified gaps in budget, talent and threats, and the need for partnerships.
- Collaboration with local governments and public higher education is critical to managing increasingly complex cyber risk within state borders.
- CISOs need a centralized structure to position cyber in a way that improves agility, effectiveness and efficiencies.
