Many states are just beginning to modernizing their IT infrastructure, according to a study by the Internet Association, a trade group representing technology companies.
The analysis of state and local technology overall modernization plans released Dec. 15 includes an interactive map called “SITARA” – State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial Information Technology Advancing Reform Achievements. It evaluates governments in three categories: cybersecurity, IT infrastructure and modernization. The association used 11 metrics across the three categories to give scores.

Wat houdt de nieuwe cyberbeveiligingsstrategie van de EU in?
De nieuwe cyberbeveiligingsstrategie moet zorgen voor een wereldwijd en open internet door alle instrumenten en middelen die de veiligheid waarborgen en de Europese waarden en de grondrechten van iedereen beschermen, te benutten en te verruimen.
Wat is er nieuw aan deze cyberbeveiligingsstrategie?
De strategische initiatieven omvatten:
-
een EU-breed cyberschild, bestaande uit veiligheidsoperatiecentra (SOC s) die met behulp van kunstmatige intelligentie en machinaal leren dreigende cyberaanvallen in een vroeg stadium ontdekken en die ingrijpen voordat er schade wordt toegebracht
-
een gezamenlijke cybereenheid die als knooppunt voor alle cyberbeveiligingsgemeenschappen dient zodat dreigingen kunnen worden doorgegeven en collectief kan worden gereageerd op incidenten en dreigingen
