Charlotte, N.C., Chief Information Security Office Randy Moulton, unlike his counterparts in the federal government, is responsible for writing the regulations that guides the city government secure its IT security.
As Moulton explains in this interview with Information Security Media Group's Eric Chabrow, Charlotte and North Carolina don't have the luxury of the Federal Information Security Management Act, the Office of Management and Budget and the National Institute of Standards and Technology to regulate and guide IT security compliance, though NIST guidance is often employed.
Still, cities like Charlotte - population topping 600,000 - look to Washington for ideas, and Moulton says he's closely following developments from the White House as President Obama implements new federal government cybersecurity and wonders what impact that could have on his operation.
