Brad Little last week named Alberto Gonzalez, the head of the state&#8217;s Department of Motor Vehicles, as the new administrator of the Office of Information Technology Services. Gonzalez, who&#8217;d led the DMV since 2017, started in his new role Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gonzalez&#8217;s appointment at Idaho ITS follows the resignation of Jeff Weak, who has taken a private-sector job, according to a press release from Little&#8217;s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weak was the inaugural administrator of Idaho ITS, which was created in 2018 to provide technology services across state government and to report directly to the governor. The state&#8217;s longtime chief information officer, Greg Zickau, reports to the office&#8217;s administrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with Weak, Idaho&#8217;s chief information security officer, Keith Tresh, also stepped down at the end of September. Tresh, a former statewide CISO in California, <a href=\"https:\/\/statescoop.com\/former-california-it-security-chief-keith-tresh-takes-idaho-ciso-role\/\">emerged from retirement<\/a> in 2020 to take the Idaho job. Tresh did not reply to an email inquiry about his exit from Idaho state government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI appreciate Jeff Weak for the tremendous job he did improving IT infrastructure, implementing cybersecurity protocols, and supporting our efforts to modernize IT services throughout state government,&#8221; Little said in the press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gonzalez has 30 years of experience in the private and public sectors, the last 15 of which have been spent with the State of Idaho. According to the governor&#8217;s office, his tenure at the DMV focused on &#8220;strong focus on transformation and modernization.&#8221; He also worked at the state Department of Health and Welfare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alberto Gonzalez, head of the state&#8217;s DMV, now leads the Idaho Office of Information Technology Services after the departure of Jeff
