Connecticut's new CISO starts with 'fundamentals'

Connecticut Chief Information Security Officer Gene Meltser became the state’s top information security official last month. He says on StateScoop’s Priorities Podcast that although he’s joining a mature cybersecurity organization, he’s starting with the fundamentals. “I’m planning on starting with fundamentals, essentially ensuring that we’re taking care of the core components of security, things like system hygiene, for example, things like patching, hardening and asset management,” he says. Election security and training for employees are also on his agenda, though he’s mindful of cybersecurity’s potential to impede work. “We’re not here to impose a regime of traffic lights where they cannot proceed to do their jobs,” he says.

After an announcement last month that Maryland is expanding its digital services efforts with five new hires, the state’s digital experience officer joins StateScoop’s Priorities Podcast to share what that expansion looks like. Marcy Jacobs, who oversees the state’s Office of Digital Experience, says her team is taking a targeted approach. “I think that is kind of a big shift from traditional kind of project management,” she says. “Is it on time and on budget to product management? Are we achieving the outcomes for the people that we are trying to serve? And can we do that in small, agile ways?” StateScoop’s Priorities Podcast is available every Wednesday.

A new law in Missouri went into effect Wednesday, granting the state auditor more authority to audit local governments.

Georgia's new voter website has legal watchdogs concerned

After receiving a cease-and-desist order this month, the office of Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger now has just days to decommission a web page that allows users to cancel voter registrations. Julie Houk, managing counsel for election protection with the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights under Law, says on StateScoop’s Priorities podcast the form possibly violates legal and ethical boundaries. The form gained media attention immediately after launch when cybersecurity analysts noticed several flaws, including an early flaw that allowed users to view the personal information of strangers, allowing them to cancel their voter registrations.

Automation bias worries Washington's privacy chief

Automation bias, a tendency to favor the output of computer algorithms over other factors, is among the top concerns of Washington state’s chief privacy officer as the state establishes its policies for generative artificial intelligence. On this week’s Priorities Podcast, Washington state Chief Privacy Officer Katy Ruckle says she’s worried people could become too comfortable with generative AI. “I have a concern or fear that once we as a workforce get used to using these types of tools and they become more and more reliable in terms of their outputs that we might defer to them and question less about the results,” she says. Washington state officials are currently on deadline to develop numerous policies pertaining to generative AI after Gov. Jay Inslee’s executive order last January.

Proselytizing for digital government in Armenia

On this week’s Priorities Podcast, Los Angeles Chief Information Officer Ted Ross shares the results of his recent trip to Armenia. As part of a democracy forum hosted by the U.S. State Department, Ross traveled to the capital city of Yerevan, where he met with government leaders to discuss how digital services can boost the public’s trust in government and help bolster the principles of democracy. “I think in a lot of governments, they think of digital and government as a completely separate conversation. So we found ourselves talking a lot about that: This isn’t just transacting, this is about a customer experience,” Ross says. Also this week, Christine Halvorsen, Okta's public sector chief technology officer and a former FBI official, joins Okta principal solutions engineer Pam Vanmeter and Scoop News Group's Wyatt Kash in a discussion on how modern customer identity and access management, or CIAM, platforms help state and local agencies lower costs and improve customer experience and security. This episode is sponsored by Okta. StateScoop’s Priorities Podcast is available every Wednesday.
