"Fighting cyberattacks with volunteers"

The Michigan Cyber Civilian Corps, MiC3, contains highly skilled volunteers from the public and private sector who are willing to provide assistance in the event that the state is targeted by a major cyberattack. However, the MiC3 has not yet been utilized despite ongoing launches of attacks on a much smaller scale. As attacks become increasingly more complex and the need for cybersecurity experts grows, Michigan lawmakers are looking to establish MiC3 for expanded use by local governments, nonprofits, and businesses within the state. This article further discusses details of MiC3 pertaining to its development, impact on other states, challenges, and benefits, along with the increasing growth of cyberattacks faced by government.
