Recently, the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) established a new center dedicated to the development of programs and resources for supporting states’ understanding of emerging and evolving technologies. The Center on Cyber and Technology will also assist with cybercrime investigations and prosecutions and “serve as an information clearinghouse for the attorney general community on trending technology issues.” Faisal Sheikh will serve as the Center’s first director, and “will be responsible for developing programming on cybersecurity, cybercrime, and new and emerging technologies, as well as forming strategic partnerships with other government agencies, academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, and private sector entities that focus on these issues.” According to NAAG Executive Director Chris Toth, “digital evolution has highlighted the need for a sustained approach to addressing cyber and technology issues.”
