Cybersecurity Planning Committee
About the Committee
Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham issued Executive Order 2022-141 on September 23, 2022, establishing the Cybersecurity Planning Committee (“Committee”). The order is in response to the Notice of Funding Opportunity by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to assist state, local, and territorial governments with managing and reducing systemic cyber risk. The Committee members have been appointed and are holding public meetings to take necessary action to permit New Mexico to participate in the federal funding opportunity.
