Gov. Pritzker Establishes cyber security commission

 

SPRINGFIELD – Governor JB Pritzker established last week the Illinois Cyber Security Commission to support an effort to enhance cyber security. The Commission will work to protect valuable information by identifying and disrupting cyber-attacks. It will include the Illinois Emergency Management Agency, the Illinois Attorney General, the Illinois National Guard, the Illinois State Police, and other agencies across the state.
“As we work to address new and emerging cyber threats, it is vital that state government and our local and private sector partners remain vigilant and prepared,” said Governor JB Pritzker.
The Commission will also leverage information from critical infrastructure partners and the public sector like information technology, communications, defense industrial base, energy, financial services, healthcare, public health, water, and wastewater systems.
