Gov. Jay Nixon announced today that the Office of Administration's Information Technology Services Division (ITSD) was recently honored with the "Overall Excellence in Cyber Security Award."

Missouri ITSD was chosen for being a model of cybersecurity awareness, infrastructure and practices.

"As cyber threats become more frequent, widespread, and technologically advanced, the State of Missouri has redoubled its efforts to protect sensitive information and defend against cyber-attacks," Gov.
