We're thrilled to announce the launch of the 2024 Deloitte-NASCIO Cybersecurity Study! This 8th biennial report is a comprehensive exploration of the current cybersecurity landscape, reflecting insights from state chief information security officers (CISOs) of all 50 states and the District of Columbia. As state governments increasingly embrace digital transformation, this study highlights the critical role of cybersecurity in protecting public data and maintaining constituents’ trust. Coinciding with Cybersecurity Awareness Month throughout October, this report emphasizes the importance of staying vigilant and informed about cybersecurity threats. This study serves as a crucial resource for understanding the evolving challenges in the cybersecurity domain, reinforcing CISOs’ commitment to safeguarding digital infrastructure. A special thank you to the NASCIO team for their incredible collaboration, and a shoutout to report authors @Meredith Ward and Srini Subramanian who presented the findings at the NASCIO conference in New Orleans earlier this month! 🌐 📄 Read the full study here: https://deloi.tt/3YdlPiG 📰 Check out the press release here: https://deloi.tt/3Yc9F9W

💡 There are innumerable opportunities for enlightening conversation and inspiration at Climate Week 2024. A deep dive on nature’s wisdom, featuring Dr. Jane Goodall, renowned Ethologist and UN Messenger of Peace among many other distinctions, and Craig Foster, Academy Award winning documentary filmmaker, naturalist, author, and co-founder of the Sea Change Project, is one such example. The energy in the room was palpable!    🌿 Their panel discussion with Deloitte Consulting's Steven Goldbach and Anesa "Nes" Parker served as a profound reminder of our human connection to nature and underscored for all in attendance (including the next generation of environmental stewards in the audience) the power of individual action to drive global change.    Visit our Climate Week page to learn more about our sessions, and see how you can tune in virtually: https://lnkd.in/dK6Rrnyz

Reducing carbon emissions and creating more resilient communities will require innovative leadership and a willingness to explore new ways of collaborating with government, industry, academia and nonprofits. And if working together is the way to progress, then states should put a leader in charge of coordinating a whole-of-government effort.    As leaders gather in NYC this week for the annual United Nations climate meeting to discuss systemic global challenges, Deloitte’s Anesa "Nes" Parker Parker shares her take on an approach to tackle sustainability and resilience at the community level.  https://lnkd.in/d6RmbtKj

For over 30 years, federal law has protected workers who take a leave of absence from their jobs to care for a new baby or a loved one who’s sick. However, most states don’t offer income security during that leave.  Studies show that states with Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) programs help provide enormous economic benefit to families, more stable employment, gender and racial equity, and a more competitive workforce. Implementing PFML is a complex, yet rewarding endeavor that helps leaders build stronger, more resilient communities. Through a holistic and adaptive approach, states can support their workers, while balancing the needs of employers, health care providers, and other stakeholders. Read more about what it takes to successfully implement PFML – with both program integrity and a commitment to equity – and some of the lessons we’ve learned in the latest edition of APHSA Policy & Practice.
