The April 14 Park County Commission meeting was held in the City/County Complex in Livingston. The City of Livingston and Park County are developing a cybersecurity incident response plan. It’s part of an effort to ensure public resources aren’t compromised by hackers and other malicious actors. State, local, tribal and territorial governments are frequent targets of cyberattacks and are on the front lines of cybersecurity, according to a fact sheet from the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. “Whether it’s a phishing email targeting a small-town clerk or ransomware disrupting a huge city’s emergency services, you see real threats every day,” reads the fact sheet. Park County commissioners will consider adopting a resolution on Tuesday to establish the Park County-City of Livingston Computer Security Incident Response Team to support the development and implementation of the Park County Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan. The team would include a core IT group consisting of the county IT director and two people appointed by the director; and a staff support group composed of the county emergency management director, county HR director, city HR director, someone appointed by the sheriff, county commission assistant, and the county maintenance director. The purpose of the IT group will be to direct cybersecurity incident response efforts, analyze cybersecurity incidents, recommend technical containment actions, and other such efforts as appropriate, according to the proposed resolution. The staff group will support the efforts of the IT group and engage appropriate city and county departments. Commissioners will consider the resolution
