South Dakota faces rising cyberattacks on local governments and utilities amid budget and time constraints for its SecureSD cybersecurity program, which delivers tools, training, and support funded by state but running low on resources. The program aims to shift local entities to federally standardised email systems and improve cybersecurity but must do so without federal grant support that was previously declined.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your cybersecurity defences must now rely on state programs as federal funds have dried up. Accelerate adoption of .gov email systems and professional IT support to stay ahead of targeted cyber threats.
