CIO Summit speakers stress cybersecurity policy, workforce issues

DOJ has announced plans to explore ways to lower the cost of compliance with its 2024 Final Rule on web-based accessibility requirements for state and local governments.

Counties must prepare for increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, particularly if they still rely on aging technology systems, some decades old, which can make them vulnerable to attacks.

Counties with 50,000 residents or more have until April 24 to meet accessibility guidelines for their websites and social media accounts, while smaller counties have another year.
