State authorities warn they lack resources to address cyber threat to critical sectors

State chief information officers and chief information security officers report insufficient funding, staff, and training to defend water, energy, and healthcare infrastructure. The gap in resources affects their ability to manage cyber threats to critical sectors.

Why it matters: State government officials and critical infrastructure operators should understand that state authorities lack the capacity to coordinate or respond to attacks, creating vulnerability in national security and essential services.
