Issue Position

Cyber attacks are among the most common and potentially crippling offenses facing our state. This threat lacks distinct borders, involves adversaries with evolving tactics and endangers both the public and private sectors. We must meet it head-on.

One of my earliest actions as governor was establishing the Cybersecurity Task Force to bridge capability gaps in our cybersecurity infrastructure and oversee enactment of proposals made by Governor Nikki Haley's Critical Infrastructure Working Group.

Working hand-in-hand with the private sector, my administration is working to develop security plans and response protocols for assets and networks vital to the interests of South Carolina. We will protect the Palmetto State -- now and into the future.
