Okay, Jae, so what can the Commonwealth do to improve our cybersecurity?

So I think it's important to understand that AI is a tool that comes after cybersecurity infrastructure, and we really need to beef up our cybersecurity infrastructure before we get AI going.

So I've met with Heidi Norman, who used to be the CIO for the city of Pittsburgh, recently at, at an event, and she basically mentioned a few things that I think we can all think about.

So her point was that we have to focus on county and municipal governments that lack money to hire full-time cybersecurity staff.

All this information would be pre-vetted by the Commonwealth government, which makes it reliable information for the local, local officials.
4:40
The Commonwealth could create a .gov domain website where government officials can shop for cybersecurity bundles, and it would be laid out in a grid system similar to airfare and hotel search engines.
