CSS - Cyber Security Architecture
The cyber security architecture team of CSS plays an important role in fortifying the state digital infrastructure against cyber threats, where cyber security architects develop solutions that protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data hosted on state information systems.
The team also provides support for the evaluation of cloud security architecture and recommends security services and common controls, and cyber security architects provide consulting in areas like identity and access management, device, and data protection.
Cyber security architects work to standardize enterprise security architecture by deploying common security controls across agencies in the Executive Branch, and are currently leading the effort for two of EIS Strategic Priorities:
- M365 Security Enhancements: M365 Security Enhancements will implement crucial security solutions contained in Microsoft 365 to considerably improve user access controls, authentication, and endpoint device management, as well as Cyber Security Services visibility into the devices and activity on the state’s network.
- Enterprise Mobile Security: The Enterprise Mobile Security Project is enabling centralized management of mobile devices for Executive Branch agencies, boards, and commissions.
