Home » Rhode Island to Create Cybersecurity Commission
A new state commission will focus on maintaining security of computer systems and data — cybersecurity — for Rhode Island government operations, as well as growing the cybersecurity industry in the state.
Gov. Gina Raimondo signed an executive order at the State House creating the cybersecurity commission, which will include the Directors of the Emergency Management Agency, the Rhode Island National Guard, the Department of Public Safety, and other state agencies concerned with commerce, as well as private sector and academic representatives. The chairman will be Scott DePasquale, the CEO of Utilidata, a software company based in South Providence.
