Nebraska State Senator Loren Lippincott has proposed a legislative measure to allocate $200,000 for hiring an ethical hacker to the Nebraska State Patrol. This allocation is intended to bolster the state’s cyber defenses by identifying and rectifying vulnerabilities within its computer systems, particularly those pertinent to elections.
The proposed bill forms part of a broader cybersecurity strategy, including an $11 million proposal to assist local governments and school districts in enhancing their cybersecurity protocols through training and preparedness drills.
