City and County Cross Jurisdiction Cybersecurity Collaboration Capacity Building

虽然在提供公民服务、公共安全和公共卫生和交通等关键基础设施方面，美国的市县通常最接近居民，但许多市县的人员配备、专业知识和网络安全预算都很有限。不仅居民、城市和县本身可能面临风险，公共安全、公共卫生和关键基础设施系统也是更大的州和国家系统的一部分。例如，县拥有美国45%的公路里程，40%的桥梁，30%的公共机场和1,550个卫生部门。市县网络安全是我国网络安全工作中一个重要但未得到重视的方面。此外，目前的网络安全教育项目并没有解决地方政府面临的一些特殊但关键的需求。该项目通过开发和提供地方政府特定的网络安全教育和培训模块，为解决地方政府的网络安全挑战做出了贡献，这些模块可以扩展现有的网络安全课程，也可以单独提供。该项目包括为地方政府高管举办的区域研讨会，以解决以下问题：(1)如何最有效地解决地方政府的网络安全问题，特别是那些预算和网络安全专业知识有限的地方政府？(2)地方政府网络安全跨辖区共享的最有效策略、模式和方法是什么？最后，该项目正在开发：(1)地方政府网络安全工具包，涵盖与地方政府相关的网络安全领导和治理问题；(2)地方政府跨辖区能力共享路线图，为地方政府发展和开展网络安全跨辖区合作提供指导。

While the nation's cities and counties are often closest to residents in providing citizen services, public safety and critical infrastructure such as public health and transport, many have limited staffing, expertise and cybersecurity budgets. Not only are the residents and cities and counties themselves potentially at risk, public safety, public health and critical infrastructure systems are part of larger connected state and national systems. For example, counties own 45% of the U.S. road miles, 40% of the bridges and operate of 30% of public airports and 1,550 health departments. City and county cybersecurity is an important yet under-focused aspect of our national cybersecurity efforts. Further, current cybersecurity education programs are not addressing some of the special but critical needs facing local governments. This project is contributing to addressing the local government cybersecurity challenges by developing and providing local government specific cybersecurity education and training modules that can augment existing cybersecurity curricula or be provided on a standalone basis. The project includes regional workshops for local government executives to address: (1) How can cybersecurity for local governments, especially those with limited budgets and cybersecurity expertise, most effectively be addressed?; and (2) What are the most effective strategies, models and approaches for cybersecurity cross jurisdictional sharing for local governments? Lastly, the project is developing: (1) a Local Government Cybersecurity Toolkit covering cybersecurity leadership and governance issues relevant for local government; and (2) a Local Government Cross Jurisdiction Capacity Sharing Roadmap providing local governments with guidance for developing and undertaking cybersecurity cross jurisdiction collaborations.
