Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez asks Kelly Moan, Chief Information Security Officer and Head of New York City Cyber Command, if there is a pathway for partnerships with businesses like Rite Aid related to biometric data collection and protection of New Yorkers' rights, given existing partnerships with small businesses.

  • Moan states their current focus is on cyber threat intelligence sharing and protecting against cyber attacks.
  • Within that cybersecurity realm, such partnerships could potentially make sense.
  • However, further discussion would be needed to understand the intent and implications within the specific legislative framework mentioned.
