Williamson County Technology Services Department Receives 2020 Best of Texas Award for its Cyber Security Awareness Program

Williamson County Technology Services Department Receives 2020 Best of Texas Award for its Cyber Security Awareness Program

Williamson County is proud to announce the Williamson County Technology Services Department is the recipient of a 2020 Best of Texas Award and is being recognized as an innovator in the Texas Public-Sector for its Cyber Security Awareness Program.  

The Best of Texas Awards program recognizes public-sector professionals and local government organizations across the state for their dedication and contributions to advancing information technology in Texas. The award recipients are selected based on several criteria including collaboration among agencies, innovative use of technology, economic benefits, and improving public services and business processes.  

The Williamson County Technology Services received the touted recognition for its ability to create a Cyber Security Awareness Program (SAP) by utilizing technology that the County had in-house. The SAP is a system that is required by the state to comply with Texas House Bill 3834. The law requires that certain state and local government entities complete a cybersecurity training program certified by the Department of Information Resources (DIR). After the passing of the bill, many entities sought out DIR approved vendors to help them meet the new requirements. Instead of purchasing third-party software, Williamson County’s Technology Services Security Team resorted to finding innovative ways to use technology they already had, such as various components of Microsoft 365. In doing so, the team not only met and exceeded the expectation but also saved the County money.   

“I am so proud of our staff. They consistently provide high quality, creative and innovative solutions to the citizens and staff of Williamson County.  Even when H.B. 3834 was passed last year with a very short timeline to execute, they challenged themselves to offer meaningful and effective cybersecurity training to every employee of the County in order to protect them, as well as all of the County’s cyber resources,” said Williamson County Technology Services Senior Director Jay Schade.  

This project was conceptualized, developed, and implemented by the great work of Security Engineer Paul Hulse, System Admin Chris Slaughter, System Admin Bert Araiza, and IT Architect Jim Daniels, which resulted in Williamson County being able to communicate and reach employees with relevant training that is customized to their organization. In addition to short term goals, the SAP is designed in a way to meet the long-term goals of the organization as it relates to cybersecurity resources and awareness training.  

“Technology Services staff did an incredible job designing, creating, and implementing an in-house security awareness program to meet an unfunded State mandate. With a very short timeline to roll out the program to all users, the team created a user-friendly training program with original content and innovative automation for assessment results. I’m very proud of the team and what they continue to do to keep our County safe from cyber threats,” said Williamson County Technology Services IT Operations Director Richard Semple.  

The 2020 Best of Texas Award was presented by Government Technology magazine as part of the annual Texas Digital Government Summit, which will be held virtually September 23 and 24.
