In an effort to step up Iowa’s cyber defenses, Gov. Terry Branstad ordered several agencies to develop a cybersecurity strategy for the state on Monday.
The state’s Office of the Chief Information Officer, the Homeland Security and Emergency Management Department, the state Communications Network, the National Guard, the Department of Public Safety, and other agencies and stakeholders will work together to develop the plan, according to the order. They must also educate the public on cybersecurity, and work with the private sector and educational institutions on how to implement best practices.
Additionally, the order requires the multiagency group to find grade school and college-level educational programs designed to foster a more robust cybersecurity workforce in the future, and to re-evaluate and update the state’s emergency response plan to include a response to cyberattacks that could affect critical infrastructure.
