Multi-sourcing Service Integrator (MSI) model creates ease of access to Defense in Depth cybersecurity services through the State of Texas Shared Technology Services program, offering uniform and consistent management of state data security.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For the State of Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR), like other state and local governments, IT security is paramount. One of the areas of particular concern is data security \u2013 preserving the privacy of citizen data and protecting personally identifiable information.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One issue the Multi-sourcing Service Integrator (MSI) model solved for the State of Texas was assurance and control over how IT services, including cybersecurity services, are delivered to customers and how those services are consumed. DIR has 80% of the state compute resources and, as a result, it has every version of regulated data. The MSI model supports DIR\u2019s Defense in Depth strategy by layering capabilities from multiple providers to prevent, respond to, and contain breaches when necessary.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
