TAKE ACTION: Cybersecurity

The legislature is seriously skimping on cybersecurity.

Why does this matter?
Our state government holds large amounts of highly sensitive personal data - Social Security numbers, health data, tax records. The state tends off countless hacker attacks on its systems each day. In South Carolina, a data breach resulted in the exposure of nearly 2 million social security numbers, 700,000 tax returns, and over 3 million bank accounts. Governor Dayton has proposed smart new investments to enhance our cybersecurity but the legislature refuses to go along.

How to take action:
To take action contact State Government Conference Committee Chairs:
