Liability Concerns in Volunteer Cybersecurity
Liability issues are a central concern in volunteer cybersecurity efforts, particularly regarding the handling of sensitive data and systems. As volunteers go into organizations' networks to provide services, the possibility of something going wrong raises significant legal questions. States that have established civilian cyber corps have implemented statutes that outline the responsibility and accountability of volunteers in these roles. However, many existing laws do not reference the Volunteer Protection Act of 1997, which could help address liability concerns, highlighting an area for potential improvement in state legislation.
