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 South Dakota, cybersecurity is governed by a combination of state statutes and federal laws designed to protect computer systems and sensitive data from cyber-threats. The state has enacted laws such as the South Dakota Breach of Personal Information Security Act, which requires businesses to notify individuals of security breaches that may have compromised their personal information. Additionally, South Dakota has laws that penalize unauthorized access to computer systems, known as computer crime laws, which make it illegal to access, use, or damage a computer or computer system without authorization. These laws are in place to deter cybercriminals from activities such as data theft, extortion, and disruption of business operations. At the federal level, laws such as the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) also provide a framework for prosecuting cybercrimes and encourage sharing of cybersecurity threat information between the government and private sector.
