Gov. Hochul and Mayor Adams today announced the opening of a new cyber security hub at 11 MetroTech Center in Downtown Brooklyn to coordinate cyber protections around the state as tensions between Russia and Ukraine continue to escalate. PoliticsNYnews
“The threat of cyber terrorism is very real, particularly now,” Hochul said. “That is the warning we’re receiving out of Washington. Particularly for a place like New York. And therefore our state and our cities will be taking a leading role in fortifying our defenses in the battlefield against cyber warfare.”
Hochul said JSOC’s goal is to coordinate cybersecurity across New York’s various municipalities by fostering data sharing and bringing experts together under one roof, so no one city or town is left vulnerable to cyber attacks. The center was announced as the threat of Russia invading Ukraine becomes more and more imminent. Soon before the center was unveiled President Joe Bidena fresh round of harsh sanctions against Russia, following a speech from Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday where he announced he’d be moving troops into occupied portions of eastern Ukraine.
“Technology, if we like it or not, is at the heart of everything we do,” Adams said. “Running water, electricity. Everyday, we start our day by picking up our phones. We do our banking online. We communicate with our children . We run our city on technology and when you hack that technology, you are hacking our entire city.”
