Task force close to finalizing cybersecurity recommendations

A state cybersecurity task force is preparing for one last discussion early next month before they sign off on their recommendations in a final report to the governor.

Dan Sipes, deputy chief information officer for the North Dakota Information Technology Department,  said the meeting will be held Nov. 2 in the Rough Rider Room at the state Capitol.

“Our goal will be to go over the details,” he said.

The report will contain recommendations for Gov. Jack Dalrymple’s 2017-19 executive budget.

Sipes said some of the items may come with funding requests, but others involve policy adjustments and changes that could be made to improve operations.

Dalrymple created the task force last year, asking its members to review the state’s cybersecurity policies and develop recommendations to provide better security to state IT networks, as well as the data they store and utilize. For the full article click here
