Assignment:

Prepare a briefing statement (3 to 5 paragraphs) for a group of state government employees and local government city managers who are interested in learning more about the benefits of working together with peers in government to improve their organization's cybersecurity posture.

These employees and managers are not all technically savvy so ensure that laymen can understand your statement. This audience's specific interest is in obtaining help in preventing data breaches since state agencies and city governments collect, process, transmit, and store large amounts of private information about individuals. This private information might include:

Student Records (K-12)
Online Reservation & Payment Systems for Parks & Recreation Facilities
Hospitals (Patient Records)
Vital Records (Birth / Death Certificates)
License Applications (Marriage, Business, Driver's Licenses)
Building Permits (including architectural drawings and property information)

Your briefing statement should answer the following two questions:

Will working with peer government organizations, e.g. through regional or national partnerships, help reduce risks and improve a small agency's cybersecurity practices? Why or why not?
Who else could each city partner with to reduce the risks and impacts of data breaches?

Provide in-text citations and references for 3 or more authoritative sources. Put the reference list at the end of your posting.
