Suffolk County has tabled a measure aimed at improving cyber security coordination across departments.
As News 12 has reported, under the proposal, county information tech workers would meet at least once a month.
In addition, a new chief information security officer would be expected to oversee policy and compliance for all departments as well as submit a risk assessment report twice a year.
Outgoing Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone praised the proposal to the legislature.
Bellone went on to blame the county clerk’s office for the attack – which shut down services for months, and exposed social security numbers of about 26,000 county employees.
