Önemli bir nokta olarak, nispeten iyi kaynaklara sahip bir eyalet olan Maryland bile bu engellerle mücadele etmektedir, bu da daha az kaynağa sahip eyaletlerin muhtemelen daha büyük güvenlik açıklarıyla karşı karşıya olduğu anlamına gelmektedir.

Özet

Siber güvenlik, en önemli politika ve yönetim konularından biridir. Amerika Birleşik Devletleri (ABD) federal hükûmeti siber güvenlik sorunlarına büyük ölçekli çözümler bulmaya odaklanırken eyalet ve yerel yönetimler tüm çözümlerin federal hükûmetten gelmesini beklememelidir. Bu nedenle eyaletler, siber saldırıları en aza indirmek ve güvenli bir siber alan yaratmak için önlemler almalıdır. Ancak eyalet yönetimleri; yeterli fon eksikliği, siber güvenlik uzmanlarının yetersizliği, belgelenmiş süreçlerin eksikliği ve tehditlerin giderek karmaşıklaşması gibi zorluklarla karşı karşıyadır. Bu çalışma, ABD eyalet ve yerel yönetimlerinde siber güvenlik sorunlarının ele alınmasının önündeki engelleri incelemekte ve bu yönetimlerin siber güvenliği en etkili şekilde artırmak için benimsemeleri gereken strateji türlerini tartışmaktadır. Maryland eyalet ve yerel yönetim yetkilileriyle yapılan ikinci el görüşme verilerini analiz eden çalışma, siber güvenlik sorunlarının ele alınmasında en önemli adımlar olarak (1) daha geniş güvenlik topluluğu ile ortaklıklar kurmak ve güvenlik ihtiyaçlarını dış kaynaklara yaptırmak, (2) bir siber güvenlik stratejik planı oluşturmak ve (3) daha fazla kanun uygulaması sağlamak olduğunu belirlemektedir. Önemli bir nokta olarak, nispeten iyi kaynaklara sahip bir eyalet olan Maryland bile bu engellerle mücadele etmektedir, bu da daha az kaynağa sahip eyaletlerin muhtemelen daha büyük güvenlik açıklarıyla karşı karşıya olduğu anlamına gelmektedir.

Abstract

Cybersecurity constitutes one of the most important policy and management concerns. While the United States (U.S.) federal government focuses on large-scale solutions to cybersecurity challenges, state and local governments should not expect the federal government to provide all responses. For this reason, states must take precautions to minimize cyberattacks and create a secure cyberspace. However, state governments face challenges such as a lack of sufficient funding, inadequate availability of cybersecurity professionals, a lack of documented processes, and the increasing sophistication of threats. This study examines barriers to addressing cybersecurity challenges in the U.S. state and local governments and discusses the types of strategies these governments should adopt to be most effective in enhancing cybersecurity. By analyzing second-hand interview data with Maryland state and local government officials, the study identifies (1) building partnerships with the larger security community and outsourcing security needs, (2) creating a cybersecurity strategic plan, and (3) enabling more law enforcement as the most crucial steps in addressing cybersecurity challenges. Critically, even Maryland, a relatively well-resourced state, struggles with these barriers, meaning that less-resourced states likely face even greater vulnerabilities.
