Secure City Assets & Data
To assure business continuity and services to Chicagoans, we must sustain a top-tier cybersecurity program that promotes best practices and standards. Security measures and guiding principles must be embedded in city functions and throughout the solution development lifecycle. This includes activities, such as: data classification and protection, timely upgrades, and secure testing processes. For us to be successful, we must develop a culture of shared responsibility for safeguarding Chicagoans and visitors against criminal behaviors and other security threats.
Sustain a top-tier cybersecurity program based on best practices and industry standards, including: ongoing citywide training, increased cybersecurity staffing, centralized security infrastructure, access controls, incident and threat management, disaster recovery testing, and other methods.
#top_tier_cybersecurity
Securing both electronic and physical city assets and data must be a shared responsibility citywide. Security measures and guiding principles must be embedded throughout the solution development lifecycle and beyond through effective data classification and protection, secure development / testing practices, and timely software upgrades, among other activities.
Our goal is to promote a culture of shared accountability and ownership for protecting city operations and enabling reliable and secure delivery of city services.
