As cyber attacks and generative artificial intelligence (AI) continue to make headlines, they highlight the growing need in Wisconsin and across the country to treat cybersecurity as a strategic priority. The Wisconsin Governor’s Cybersecurity Summit in late October looked at how both the public and private sectors can expand their capabilities to protect infrastructure and government assets. “Here in Wisconsin, we know that 21st-century technology is a part of our state’s future and our future success — it’s the key to economic development, the exchange of information, and the answer to some of the biggest issues facing our world today,” said Governor Tony Evers while attending the summit. “Cybersecurity touches every aspect of our society, from our government and infrastructure to our farming industry to our healthcare and personal communication. It is the safeguard of our most precious resources and requires an all-hands-on-deck approach.”
