State of Michigan honored for Cybersecurity Strategy

LANSING —The state of Michigan’s Department of Technology, Management and Budget is being honored for its demonstrated leadership in cybersecurity with a CSO50 award. The annual awards recognize 50 organizations for security projects and initiatives that demonstrate outstanding business value and thought leadership.

“Being recognized with a CSO50 Award validates the hard work of government and private-sector partners to protect all Michiganders in the event of a cyber attack,” said David Behen, DTMB director and state chief information officer.

Michigan was specifically recognized for the creation of a comprehensive Cyber Disruption Response Plan. This plan provides a framework for responding to cyber threats and identifies roles for various public and private organizations. The standardized responses protect the health, safety and economic interests of Michigan’s residents and organizations by reducing the impact of cyber-related events. — G.G.
