The Maricopa County Cyber Security Portal provides a number of benefits to citizens, other jurisdictions (State, city, and other counties) and employees. The portal is meant to be a site where personnel from these various groups are able to gather information in regards to cyber security. Specifically, citizens are able to access a website within the portal that provides resources to educate the general population on strategies and tactics that can be implemented to keep them safe online. Other jurisdictions can leverage the site’s links to tools, best practices and templates, in support of Cyber Security Program development. Finally Maricopa County leverages another site within the portal to make available general security awareness practices to its employees. The portal was developed by the Maricopa County Office of Enterprise Technology (OET) to improve the safety of citizens as well as to improve the security posture of the County and other jurisdictions. The portal was launched in October, 2013, in connection with National Cyber Security Awareness month. The goal of the portal is to improve awareness around Cyber Security related issues, provide information that can be used to help mitigate the risk of security threats, and establish a centralized web location that citizens can reference when looking to obtain cyber security information.
