Sen. Gayle Harrell has introduced a bill (SB 770) during Florida’s Regular Session to enhance the state’s cybersecurity infrastructure. The bill aims to establish the Florida Digital Service within the Department of Management Services, which would be responsible for developing and implementing cybersecurity standards for state government entities. This includes compliance with national and state data security standards, immediate reporting of cyber incidents, and the designation of a State Chief Technology Officer to oversee technology projects and partnerships. The CTO would also lead long-term technology strategies and workforce development initiatives. The bill seeks to improve coordination between agencies and local governments by consolidating incident reports and providing updates to key stakeholders. If passed, the legislation would take effect on July 1.
