Center for Cybersecurity
The SCRA Center of Cybersecurity is leading the state’s strategic cybersecurity plan, developed in 2024 from a multi-year, comprehensive study that assessed the state’s cybersecurity needs, assets, and challenges. Its purpose is to align the strengths among partners across the state for a more secure, resilient, and competitive business and economic future.
The SCRA Center for Cybersecurity is not the state’s tactical and operational cybersecurity plan, which is managed by the S.C. Department of Administration and the S.C. Law Enforcement Division.
About the Center
South Carolina’s cyber strategic plan is a true ‘whole-of-state’ plan that addresses cybersecurity in education, workforce development, defense partnerships, economic growth, and prevention and response capabilities for our state and local government agencies, businesses, and citizens.
SCRA’s Center of Cybersecurity will drive the implementation of this plan in coordination with the following primary stakeholders and partners: the Office of the Governor, SC Department of Commerce, SC Department of Employment and Workforce, SC Department of Education and school district leaders across the state, SC Technical College System, SC Council on Competitiveness, SC Department of Veterans Affairs, SC Department of Administration, SC Law Enforcement Division, Savannah River National Laboratory, public and private universities across the state, and cybersecurity companies and professional associations across the state.
A twenty-year veteran of federal and state strategic planning initiatives—including cyber coordination for multiple US states and regions—Brian Shea will lead the Center at SCRA and provide regular updates on the plan’s implementation to the Office of the Governor.
