New York unveils first-ever statewide plan to combat cyberattacks against local governments
NEW YORK - Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Wednesday a statewide plan to protect institutions and infrastructure from cyberattacks.
Hochul said the strategy includes allocating $30 million to help local governments close security gaps in their computer systems.
"As a result, 53,000 computers owned by county and local governments are protected by the latest security technology and integrated into a statewide picture for the first time ever," Hochul said.
Hochul said the plan will also help protect personal information and other digital assets.
