Considerations for Local Businesses in Louisiana

Louisiana's cybersecurity landscape is shaped by its unique business environment and regulatory framework. The state's Database Security Breach Notification Law (La. R.S. 51:3071 et seq.) requires businesses to promptly notify affected individuals of data breaches. In 2021, Louisiana experienced a 25% increase in reported cyber incidents, with the average cost of a data breach reaching $4.2 million. The state's critical industries, including energy and healthcare, face heightened risks, with 40% of cyber attacks targeting these sectors.
