South Dakota opens bids in state-funded $7 million cybersecurity effort to protect local governments
South Dakota is stepping up its cybersecurity game. The state is looking for a company to assess the vulnerabilities in local government networks, a critical move given the rising threat of cyberattacks. With $7 million in state funds on the table, the initiative—led by Attorney General Marty Jackley’s office and Dakota State University—aims to shore up defenses for key systems handling elections, taxes, and public records. Given past breaches and a nationwide spike in cybercrime, this effort is long overdue.
