JTC Resource Bulletin - Cybersecurity Basics





In December 2019 the Joint Technology Committee (JTC) established by the Conference of State Court Administrators (COSCA), the National Association for Court Management (NACM) and the National Center for State Courts (NCSC) issued a new Resource Bulletinon Cybersecurity Basics for Courts.

The bulletin's abstract says that "cybersecurity threats are a reality for all organizations, public and private. In spite of good prevention efforts, every court will almost certainly face a cybersecurity incident including data breach or cyberattack. This paper provides a basic explanation of prevention techniques and the preparations necessary for court managers to respond quickly and effectively in the event of a cybersecurity incident."

The report further notes that "The number, scope, and breadth of organizations experiencing cybersecurity incidents in the past few years is vast and unsettling. Attacks against courts are on the rise. The reality is that regardless of preventive measures, most organizations will deal with some form of cybersecurity incident. Accepting that courts will face cybersecurity incidents is essential."
