Abstract
This chapter addresses the growing field of cybersecurity law. It presents an overview of the laws and regulations relevant to local government cybersecurity so that local officials and others are at least aware of potential compliance requirements. It covers sector specific security standaards such as the Payment Card Industry and North American Electric Reliability Corporation standards. The federal policies largely deal with protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of various types of sensitive personal data, from health information to tax and cardholder information. The chapter reviews a variety of typical state laws including: state and local cybersecurity legislation; security breach notification laws; data security and data disposal laws; and data protection and privacy laws. Adopted in 2016 and implemented in 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation has set the global standard for comprehensive data protection and privacy laws.
