On this episode of the Advancing Cyber podcast, host Cristin Flynn Goodwin, former CISA Executive Assistant DirectorJeff Greene, and current Snohomish County, Washington Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) Doug Cavit unpack the recent cybersecurity responsibilities shifting from federal to state and local authorities. Jeff and Doug explore the implications of this shift, including resource allocation, the role of federal agencies, and challenges faced by smaller municipalities. Doug shares the practical realities of managing cybersecurity at the county level, and the difficulties faced by smaller entities with limited resources. Jeff, with his extensive background in national security and cybersecurity, provides insights into the federal perspective and the critical role of federal agencies in supporting state and local efforts. Cristin, Jeff, and Doug also talk about what happens if the CISA Act is not reauthorized, and the impact that will have, including a request for the cybersecurity community to call members of Congress and voice their support. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of cybersecurity and the evolving roles of federal, state, and local governments. #AdvancingCyber #cybersecurity #CISA #CISAAct #publicpolicy #cyberlaw #cybersecuritylawyer #threatintelligence #informationsharing #publicprivatepartnership #stateandlocalcyber
