On August 31, 2015, California Governor Jerry Brown signed Executive Order B-34-15, directing the establishment of the California Cybersecurity Integration Center (Cal-CSIC). The new center operates under the auspices of the Office of Emergency Services (OES), with the California Department of Technology, California National Guard, and the California Highway Patrol acting as the key partners in the coordination of cybersecurity related activities within the State.
In his Executive Order, Governor Brown tasks the Cal-CSIC with two primary missions: facilitate information sharing across the state and coordinate statewide responses to cyber incidents. Given the increasing threat from cyberattacks to the State government and all California governments, businesses, and citizens, the Cal-CSIC’s mandate is immediate action to mitigate those risks. It takes significant planning and time to coordinate an incident response capability for statewide deployment, therefore, the immediate focus is to create and implement a statewide information sharing program.
