As you carry out your mission, the N.C. Department of Information Technology works with local, state, and federal partners to safeguard North Carolina’s government IT systems and data.
Cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated, often using AI, and are increasingly targeting critical infrastructure, such as utilities, energy, transportation, and emergency response.
To meet this challenge, NCDIT is making a transformative shift to a whole-of-state approach to cybersecurity. This includes the state’s largest investment in cybersecurity, a five-year strategic plan, standardized security requirements for cloud solutions, and guidance for responsible AI adoption.
It takes all of us to defend our state’s network and data. NCDIT is building the foundation, and you are the first line of defense. Together, we're keeping North Carolina secure.
