Cyber Oregon is a statewide initiative powered by a public-private consortium that is working together to build tangible solutions to protect the digital lives of all Oregonians. Like many states, Oregon businesses, non-profit organizations, government agencies, educational institutions and individuals are all threatened by the ever-present threat of cyber attacks and cyber abuse which is why Oregon Senate Bill 90, signed by Governor Kate Brown on September 19, 2017, established the Oregon Cybersecurity Advisory Council. This enabled the launch of the Cyber Oregon initiative in partnership with the Technology Association of Oregon (TAO) to foster cross-sector collaboration and work toward the creation of a Cybersecurity Center of Excellence in Oregon.
