As children, we learned the differences between our states by learning about their capitals and geographic sizes. As adults, we can compare them by the drastically varied way they handle their technology. While some states are hierarchical, others are centrally controlled. The unique needs of each will dictate how their cybersecurity is designed.

In this week’s episode of Feds At The Edge, we’ve joined federal leaders with technology experts from Delaware, Michigan and Colorado to discuss the different aspects that states across the nation are thinking about when building their cybersecurity plans. Solomon Adote, Chief Security Officer with the Delaware Department of Technology and Information brings light to an overriding theme and the first pillar in the transition to a zero-trust architecture for any agency, the importance of identity management.

Suzette Kent adds, “Many of these federal programs we have, it’s the states that do the work and all the data, and interact with the citizens.”
