Seattle 市议会正式任命 Shannon Smith 为首席技术官
位于华盛顿州金县的 Seattle 市议会近日一致通过，将代理首席技术官 Shannon Smith 正式任命为市首席技术官（CTO）。她自今年 6 月 8 日起代理这一职位，统管全市信息技术系统。
Smith 的任内重点包括市政系统现代化与网络安全。她曾提出，人力资源类老旧应用现代化后，相关流程工作量可减少约 35%；在网络安全方面，她以 2024 年 Seattle Public Library 遭勒索软件攻击为前车之鉴，提出现代化、员工教育与早期检测三项原则。
市议会在确认表决中肯定了她代理期间的表现。Seattle 是全美科技业重镇，市府 IT 系统服务逾 70 万居民的许可、缴费与公共安全调度等日常事务。（GSM 据 Government Technology 10 月 21 日报道）
Seattle Council Confirms Shannon Smith as Permanent Chief Technology Officer
SEATTLE, Washington — The Seattle City Council has voted unanimously to confirm acting Chief Technology Officer Shannon Smith as the city's permanent CTO in King County, Washington. She had served in the acting role since June 8, overseeing the city's information technology systems.
Smith's agenda centers on modernizing city systems and on cybersecurity. She has said modernizing legacy applications such as human-resources tools could cut related process workloads by about 35 percent. On security, she points to the 2024 ransomware attack on the Seattle Public Library and advances three principles: modernization, staff education and early detection.
Council members praised her performance in the acting role during the confirmation vote. Seattle is a national technology hub, and its municipal IT systems handle permitting, payments and public-safety dispatch for more than 700,000 residents.
