In recent years the Department of Transportation (TxDOT) experienced a ransomware attack that infected their systems and forced the administrators to shut down the systems to avoid the propagation of the ransomware. This event forced the agency to take steps to prevent further damages to its systems and its vendor networks. As a result, initiative were put forth to implement tighter Information security safeguards across all their systems, including all vendors that conduct business with the State of Texas.
Organizations that sell services to the State of Texas must now comply with legislation and adhere to strict regulatory requirements to prevent or limit damage from future attacks. State vendor's must now implement higher control standards across all its applications, systems development, people management, data and network security.
We understand that many small businesses currently lack the appropriate resources necessary to defend against these attacks, which increases the likelihood that cybercriminals will to put their government contracts and relationships in jeopardy.
A business's responsibility to commit to the industry-standard controls can be a challenge, but a compliant company culture establishes an organization's trustworthiness, integrity, and maturity in the industry landscape.
