SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Security of state government databases and data communications. Requires the director of every department in the executive branch of state government to report to the Chief Information Officer (CIO) all known incidents that threaten the security of the Commonwealth's databases and data communications resulting in exposure of data protected by federal or state laws, or other incidents compromising the security of the Commonwealth's information technology systems with the potential to cause major disruption to normal agency activities, computer viruses and worms, denial of service attacks, unauthorized uses and intrusions, and such other security threats. Such reports shall be made to the CIO within 24 hours from when the department discovered or should have discovered their occurrence. The bill also requires the CIO to promptly receive these reports and to take such actions as are necessary, convenient or desirable, to ensure the security of the Commonwealth's databases and data communications. The bill has a delayed effective date of January 1, 2005.
