Tennessee Cyber Hub
#CyberSafeTN is a collaborative source for cybersecurity awareness and information-sharing across Tennessee..One of the State of Tennessee's priorities is to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data that is shared, received, processed and stored. In order to further Tennessee's cybersecurity posture, the Tennessee Cybersecurity Advisory Council has committed to expanding a “whole-of-government” approach to include local governments and citizens. The first step towards this new approach is to improve cybersecurity communications and awareness. With this goal in mind this page, the Tennessee Cyber Hub, was launched to increase security awareness and improve practices across public sector entities in Tennessee.
