Resurrection of ICIT Security Committee

On Friday, September 6th, 2013, to show their support of ICIT, especially our county technology assessment program, representatives from the SANS Institute's Securing the Human presented information on "Next Generation Security Awareness Programs" and "Phishing and Measuring Impact". The presentations were part of the program at ICIT's first Tech Team Workshop, an event designed to refine and formalize the technology assessment program for Iowa Counties that ICIT began in November 2011. To date ICIT has performed assessments for ten of Iowa's counties.

Both informative and energizing, Lance Spitzner's presentations provided timely reminders of why Security Awareness is so important and should be a priority for counties. As a result of the presentations and the discussion among ICIT members that followed, I have decided to create this blog, which will be open for posting by other ICIT Security Committee members as well. The focus of this blog will be to provide information regarding Cyber Security that is relevant to Iowa Counties.

A big Thank You! to SANS for their support and for resurrecting our security committee, which has been floundering for some time. We hope you enjoy our blog!
