Anavitarte. “Throughout the testimony provided, it became abundantly clear that cyber-crime presents a threat that will require a multifaceted solution. In future meetings, I look forward to hearing more about what more we can do as a state to aggressively fight cyber-crime, secure Georgia’s digital assets, and grow the field of cyber security in our state.”
