Nizich Discusses County Cyberattack

Michael Nizich, Ph.D., director of the ETIC and adjunct associate professor of computer science, lent his cybersecurity expertise to a Newsday article about Suffolk County’s legislative analysis of its 2022 ransomware attack. Nizich says that the need for a recovery plan is just as imperative now as it was two years ago, stating, “In 2022, to not have these plans in place [and] regular tabletop exercises performed by the IT team for an organization of this size and complexity is unacceptable.”
