As governor, how will your administration improve cybersecurity for the state’s Critical Infrastructures?

Prepare a five paragraph introduction (briefing statement) for a general election debate question:

As governor, how will your administration improve cybersecurity for the state’s Critical Infrastructures?

This question will be asked of all gubernatorial candidates participating in a state-level debate (you should not address any single candidate or party).

Your introduction must provide enough information that the candidates understand key terms as defined by you for the debate question:

• What is meant by “cybersecurity” for critical infrastructures?”
• Where have past state government administrations supported or fallen short in promoting cybersecurity for critical infrastructures?
• What is meant by “Threats” (i.e. individual hackers, politically motivated hacktivists, criminal enterprises, and unfriendly “nation state” actors)
