Four U.S. Senators have introduced a bipartisan bill that will require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to appoint cybersecurity effort coordinators in every state to orchestrate cyberattack response and remediation efforts, and to improve coordination between federal, state, and local entities.

Cybersecurity state coordinators will have to ensure that local, state, and federal entities collaborate and share resources during cybersecurity threat prevention and response processes according to the Cybersecurity State Coordinator Act of 2020 bill introduced by Senators Margaret Hassan (D-NH), John Cornyn (R-TX), Rob Portman (R-OH), and Gary Peters (D-MI) on January 16, 2020.
