A group of state IT officials said during an online event Wednesday that while White House directives on cybersecurity don’t explicitly apply to their governments, they try to fit some of those orders to the agencies they lead, especially if they contain good security practices.
“You get these executive orders but they don’t come with any road rules for how to implement them at the state level,” New York State Chief Information Officer Angelo “Tony” Riddick said during a virtual panel hosted by the Advanced Technology Academic Research Center, a government IT think tank.
