Enhancing Local Cybersecurity: Angelo State University’s Leadership in Texas
Available On-Demand
This webinar is available on-demand. If you have issue accessing the recording, please email nacomeetings@naco.org.
In 2021, Texas passed legislation establishing a pilot Regional Security Operations Center (RSOC) to provide support to local governments and school districts that need assistance with major cybersecurity incidents. Angelo State University was selected to operate the pilot RSOC and partnered with Deloitte from the beginning.
Angelo State’s RSOC provides cybersecurity support, monitoring and response services and infrastructure to local and regional government entities, medical facilities, and school districts. The resource optimization the RSOC provides allows for efficient incident response and ensures expertise and knowledge are shared across the organization, benefitting all geographically dispersed locations.
The webinar will provide insight into the pilot program, local impact, lessons learned, and considerations for standing up similar programs.
