Chief information officers should continue to expand the roles they play in their organizations’ cybersecurity policies, especially as enterprise networks evolve to support new products and malware becomes more sophisticated, Linda Gerull, the chief information officer of San Francisco, said Tuesday.
“There’s so much information and so much to protect,” Gerull said at StateScoop’s California Innovation Summit in Sacramento.
One of the biggest challenges in securing government networks, Gerull continued, is balancing new applications and devices with legacy platforms that still require a lot of maintenance. The new products may have better security, but they can cause other headaches.
