South Carolina’s inspector general calls for the state to centralize the way it governs information security. No state entity has the authority or responsibility to provide IT security standards, policy and oversight statewide. A hacker, believed to be from Eastern Europe, this past summer stole a state employee password that led to the breach of the state’s tax system. The breach is likely to cost the state at least $12 million, according to the inspector general’s report. The IG says he’s planning another report that will focus on the costs and timetable to develop a long term and sustainable information security program.”]
