Texas Strengthens Cybersecurity with New State-Level Command Center
In February 2025, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced the creation of the Texas Cyber Command, a state-level initiative headquartered in San Antonio.
This command center aims to enhance the state’s ability to anticipate, detect, and prevent cyberattacks, leveraging local expertise from institutions like The University of Texas at San Antonio. The Texas Cyber Command will collaborate with state universities, Regional Security Operation Centers, and various local and state agencies to create a unified defense against cyber threats.
Key objectives include promoting cybersecurity awareness, conducting simulation exercises, and providing forensic analysis for post-attack investigations. This development underscores the growing importance of state-level initiatives in safeguarding digital assets and infrastructure.
