Connecticut Expands Data Breach Notification Requirements and Establishes a Cybersecurity “Safe Harbor”

Connecticut has become the third state to enact a cybersecurity safe harbor statute.

On June 16 and July 6, 2021, Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont signed two new cybersecurity laws that continue the national trend of expanding cyber incident disclosure obligations, shortening notification timelines, and incentivizing the implementation of recognized cybersecurity standards. Both laws take effect on October 1, 2021.

Connecticut is the third state, after Ohio and Utah, to enact a cybersecurity safe harbor statute.
