Missouri is home to a number of cybersecurity companies, including Global Velocity, Bandura and Norse Corp., and state lawmakers created an award-winning Office of Cyber Security managed by the state’s Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) nearly a decade ago.

Now that effort to thwart cyberattacks, data breaches and ransomware extortion against public institutions and corporations in Missouri will get more focused direction with the establishment of a nine-member Missouri Cybersecurity Commission.
The commission, which will operate under the Department of Public Safety (DPS), was created with the adoption of Senate Bill 49, which was signed into law Wednesday by Gov. Mike Parson.

The commission will evaluate risks to state technological infrastructure and issue an annual cybersecurity report to the governor and lawmakers to continuously update Missouri’s cybersecurity plan.

Maryland-based SecuLore Solutions’ Missouri Cyber Attacks page documents more than 50 instances of cyberattacks, data breaches, malware infiltration and ransomware crimes across the state since 2019.
