What happened
Dakota State University was awarded a $1 million grant to launch CyberRx SD, a statewide program in South Dakota. The initiative provides vendor-neutral technical assistance to help healthcare organizations improve cybersecurity defenses and modernize outdated technology. The program specifically targets rural and underserved providers facing tight budgets and aging systems.

Why it matters
The program addresses critical operational risks in the healthcare sector, as a single cyber incident can disrupt billing, delay treatment, and cut off access to patient records. By improving technology and security, the initiative aims to ensure the continued secure delivery of patient care across the state.
