Whole-of-state cybersecurity blueprint

State and local healthcare organizations face numerous challenges to accomplish their healthcare mission, including the need for secure and compliant sharing of personal health information across multiple devices, users and locations. The State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP) presents an unprecedented opportunity for all levels of state government to come together to fight a common problem—escalating cyberthreats. This whitepaper provides a blueprint for developing a whole-of-state cybersecurity strategy based on best practices and built from real-world implementations. Lumen, as an approved vendor for this grant program, supports a centralized whole-of-state security approach to help ensure collaboration across every jurisdiction.
