Cyber Liability
The Pool provides Cyber Liability Coverage and related resources at a minimal cost
Cyber threats are becoming increasingly common, and governmental entities are being directly targeted. The Pool’s cyber coverage is designed to protect both individual Members and the partnership itself. Most importantly, the Pool provides resources to help you avoid an attack.
Texas Government Code Section 2054.5191 mandates cybersecurity training for local government employees, elected officials, and appointed officials who have access to a local government computer system or database and use a computer to perform at least 25 percent of their duties. The Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) has certified that the Pool’s trainings satisfy the requirements. Click here for DIR-certified training program.
