Introduction: The Cybersecurity Landscape and the Urgency of the Matter<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cybersecurity has become a critical part of our increasingly digital lives, as we’ve seen in recent high-profile hacks and data breaches. The urgency of the matter has been further underscored by the Trump administration’s decision to shift the responsibility of cybersecurity to the states.
