In June 2019, the Maryland Cybersecurity Coordinating Council was authorized by the Governor (Executive Order 01.01.2019.07). In July 2022, the General Assembly authorized the Council by statute (Chapters 82 & 83, Acts of 2021; Chapter 135, Acts of 2022; Chapters 241 & 242, Acts of 2022).

Meeting quarterly, the Council advises and makes recommendations to the State Chief Information Security Officer on strategy and implementation of cybersecurity initiatives and recommendations. Further, it provides advice and recommendations for building and sustaining the State's capability to identify, mitigate, and detect cybersecurity risk, as well as how to respond to and recover from cybersecurity-related incidents.

Eleven ex officio members constitute the Council. The State Chief Information Security Officer, who heads the Office of Security Management within the Department of Information Technology, chairs the Council (Code State Finance & Procurement Article, secs. 3.5-2A-05, 3.5-2A-06).
