cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is the process of protecting internet-connected computer systems, such as hardware, software, and data, from cyber-threats. Cybersecurity is used by individuals and businesses to protect against unauthorized access to these computer systems when cyber criminals attempt to change, destroy, and steal sensitive data; extort money by making the systems unworkable; and interrupt business operations.

In Georgia, cybersecurity is governed by a combination of state statutes and federal laws designed to protect computer systems and data from cyber-threats. The Georgia Personal Identity Protection Act (O.C.G.A. § 10-1-910 et seq.) requires businesses to implement reasonable security measures to protect personal information and to notify individuals of security breaches involving their personal data. Additionally, Georgia's Computer Systems Protection Act (O.C.G.A. § 16-9-90 et seq.) criminalizes various forms of cybercrime, including unauthorized computer access, computer theft, and computer invasion of privacy. At the federal level, laws such as the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) also apply, providing additional layers of protection against cyber-threats and establishing frameworks for information sharing and cooperation between the private sector and the government to enhance national cybersecurity.
