Summary
Ohio has implemented new cybersecurity regulations for local governments aimed at enhancing defenses against rising cyberattacks, including ransomware incidents affecting cities like Cleveland. The regulations require local authorities to establish cybersecurity policies and mandate public approval for any ransom payments, promoting transparency and accountability in financial dealings with cybercriminals. This approach is designed to deter hasty decisions regarding ransom payments and to encourage local governments to invest in robust cybersecurity measures, contributing to broader efforts to combat cybercrime. As attacks on government entities continue to grow in frequency and complexity, these regulations represent a critical step in strengthening the resilience of municipal operations against cyber threats.
