Mendoza, Salta Advance Digital Security Bills

Mendoza advanced the provincial government’s cybersecurity bill, clearing it for floor debate in the Senate next week. The proposal passed through committee review and was modified before moving forward in the legislative process.

According to local coverage, the Mendoza bill aims to protect state digital infrastructure and prevent cybercrime. It also seeks to stop attacks that could affect essential services, personal safety, and personal data, as well as the use of stolen information for fraud or illegal resale.

Salta reviews a response for schools

In Salta, the Senate worked on a provincial bill to create an Integrated, Intersectoral Program to Address Digital Violence in the educational system. The proposed scope covers public and private primary and secondary schools.

The Salta proposal calls for a single response protocol for cyberbullying, grooming, and the nonconsensual spread of intimate material. It also includes mandatory teacher training and guidelines for preserving digital evidence.

The two initiatives reflect legislative progress at the provincial level on different but related problems. In Mendoza, the focus is on protecting state infrastructure and data. In Salta, the priority is digital violence affecting students and schools.
