John Bel sounds like John Georges here. What is he talking about?
Gov. John Bel Edwards says one of his goals is for Louisiana to have
more cybersecurity protections in place than any other state.
Edwards, a Democrat, has declared October as Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
"There
are more threats out there than you can imagine," Edwards said during a
proclamation-signing ceremony on Thursday. "If you think about it too
much, you almost can't even sleep at night."
Late last year, Edwards created a task force to lead the state's efforts on the initiative.
Threats you can't imagine. You almost can't even sleep. Why? What are you afraid of John Bel? Why even tell us about it if all you're going to tell us is to be afraid?
He said he expects the panel to propose legislation for the state
Legislature to consider next year but did not elaborate on the ideas.
Edwards and Curtis declined to identify specific threats, due to security and confidentiality.
"Our
adversaries are extremely capable," said Cyber Innovation Center
executive director Craig Spohn, who also co-chairs the governor's task
force. "The threats are real."
Who are these "adversaries" of John Bel Edwards? More to the point, who is he going to shovel a bunch of money to without telling anybody why or what they need to be protected from?
