Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. Madison Village government leaders will be creating a new cybersecurity policy to comply with a statewide mandate.
\nVillage Fiscal Officer Kristie Crockett said she recently learned about that requirement while attending a local government officials conference in Columbus. She brought up the subject during Village Council\u2019s regular meeting on March 23.
\nCrockett said local government entities such as townships and villages in Ohio must adopt and implement cybersecurity programs by July 1. Counties and cities had until Jan. 1 to accomplish that same goal.
\nThose deadlines were specified in Ohio House Bill 96, which was signed into law by Gov. Mike DeWine on June 30 of last year.<\/p>\n

That law declares that legislative bodies such as village councils and township trustees must adopt cybersecurity programs that safeguard each community government\u2019s \u201cdata, information technology, and information technology resources to ensure availability, confidentiality and integrity. \u201d
\nCrockett said she had gathered some samples of cybersecurity policies, and planned to work with Village Solicitor Joseph Szeman, Administrator Jason Chapman and Police Chief Troy McIntosh in putting together a specific plan for Madison.
\nThe state law notes that each community government\u2019s policy to prevent and respond to cyber attacks should cover topics such as:
\n\u2022 Identification of critical functions and risks
\n\u2022 Specifying mechanisms to detect potential threats and cybersecurity events
\n\u2022 Incident response procedures
\n\u2022 Measures for recovery and ongoing security
\n\u2022 Cybersecurity training requirements for all employees based on job duties.
\nIn regards to incident reporting requirements, the state law lists these mandates:
\n\u2022 The Ohio Department of Public Safety must be notified no later than seven days after the incident is discovered
\n\u2022 The Ohio Auditor\u2019s Office must be notified no later than 30 days after the incident is discovered.
\nThe state law also requires that the legislative body of a community government must pass an authorizing resolution before paying a ransomware demand.<\/p>\n
