Guess the #cybersecurity term! This word refers to a mobile device with multiple, internet-enabled features that many people carry everywhere. They are frequently a target for cybercrime, including texting scams, or “smishing.”

New York State Chief Information Officer and ITS Director Dru Rai spoke with @govtechnews and shared good news for ITS, the State and all New Yorkers in the Governor’s Budget, including funding for cybersecurity, digital experience and artificial intelligence (AI).
The Empire State’s fiscal year 2026 budget would, if approved by the state Legislature, add hundreds of employees to the IT workforce, to help the government be more efficient and use tech better in serving constituents.

Online while on the go? Keep your data safe! Don’t access sensitive data, like your bank account, in public. Keep an eye out for strangers peeking at your screen, or “shoulder surfing,” as they could learn personal information, including passwords. #DataPrivacyWeek

#ToolTipTuesday Some information, like birthdates, can inadvertently reveal answers to security questions that scammers can use to access your accounts. Be careful about the information you share on social media. #DataPrivacyWeek
