Texas just launched the largest state-run cybersecurity department in the country. $135 million in state funding, headquartered at UTSA in San Antonio, and built with serious intent—incident response, threat intel, digital forensics, the works.
This isn’t just a tech upgrade; it’s a structural shift. Texas is treating cybersecurity like critical infrastructure and positioning itself as a player, not a bystander. Curious to see how this plays out alongside federal efforts and whether other states follow suit.

- dtaxer 1y agoJust a quick comment on an article I put a lot of research into. The state's funding provides a lot of money for research and threat intelligence in collaboration with UTSA to improve critical infrastructure resilience. Shoulda said that.
