August 9, 2023 – Mark43 Chief Information Security Officer Larry Zorio III has been named to chair the Integrated Justice Information Systems (IJIS) Cyber Security Working Group. Zorio brings proven leadership experience, having spent more than 20 years focused on cybersecurity in the public safety, finance, healthcare, and medtech sectors.
As chair, he will be joining a group of subject matter experts tasked with identifying and reviewing the tools, processes, techniques, and practices that can yield immediate benefits for the IJIS domains of focus including homeland security, criminal and civil justice, and public safety. Additionally, the Working Group is dedicated to developing standards, best practice guides, and recommendations to help increase defenses to the growing cyber threats to our communities nationwide.
“I am both humbled and honored to accept the chair position for IJIS’s Cybersecurity Working Group,” said Zorio. “My hope is I can bring unique perspectives to this very talented, seasoned, group of cybersecurity professionals. You can’t turn on the television or read the news without hearing about cybersecurity challenges impacting our local, tribal, state and federal agencies. The IJIS Cybersecurity Working Group will focus on delivering meaningful cybersecurity information, tools, processes, and events that will service those same agencies, both large and small. The key word is ‘meaningful,’ as our deliverables must be easy to understand, relevant, and executable.”
