Texas Cyber Command
From HandWiki
Short description: Agency responsible for cyber defense
The Texas Cyber Command (TXCC) is an agency within the Government of Texas. It is based in San Antonio and has the purpose of cooperating with state, local, and federal partners to identify weaknesses in state and local government systems, and coordinate with governments on effective responses to cyber attacks.[1][2] It was established by Governor Greg Abbott during the 89th Texas Legislature to centralize cybersecurity operations and transfer cyber defense functions from the Texas Department of Information Resources.[3][4] After its establishment, retired United States Navy vice admiral Timothy J. White, who previously served as commander of the United States Fleet Cyber Command was named the first Chief of TXCC by Governor Abbott.[5]
