Minnesota faces a relentless wave of daily cyberattacks targeting local governments, healthcare, and critical infrastructure, evidenced by a significant surge in malware reports following new incident reporting laws. In response, the state has enacted the Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act (MCDPA), a comprehensive law granting residents unprecedented control over their personal data and imposing strict obligations on businesses, including unique rights to question profiling decisions. This evolving landscape highlights Minnesota's proactive "Whole-of-State Cybersecurity Plan" and growing cybersecurity job market, as the region strives to build resilience and safeguard its digital future.
