Gov. Larry Hogan on Tuesday announced that the state of Maryland has issued an emergency cybersecurity directive to prohibit the use of certain Chinese and Russian-influenced products and platforms for the executive branch of state government, including TikTok.
Maryland lawmakers highlighted a package of measures Wednesday to tighten cybersecurity in the state.
The disruption of Maryland's reporting of COVID-19 data last month was caused by a ransomware attack, state officials said Wednesday.
