NASCIO Releases 2020 Federal Advocacy Priorities 

the National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NACSIO) released its 2020 federal advocacy priorities. As state CIOs are asked to take on an increasing role to protect state and local governments from a constant barrage of cybersecurity threats, NASCIO’s advocacy priorities reflect the importance of collaboration between states and the federal government to ensure cyber resiliency. The priorities are: 

• Harmonize Disparate Federal Cybersecurity Regulations and Streamline the Audit Process 
• Ensure Dedicated Cybersecurity Funding for State and Local Governments with CIOs as Key Decisionmakers 
• Advocate for Widespread Adoption of DotGov Domain 
• Recognize State Authority and Ongoing Innovation with Emerging Technology 

Fact sheets regarding the above priorities can be found at www.NASCIO.org/government-affairs.
