Public Agencies Are Prime Targets, And Many Aren’t Ready
Legacy infrastructure, tight budgets, and limited IT resources make municipal systems attractive targets for cybercriminals. Whether it’s ransomware locking down 911 dispatch or exposed public records from an outdated system, the public sector is under siege.
Key Challenges:
Outdated systems lacking proper security controls
Ransomware attacks on emergency and utility services
Compliance gaps with CJIS and other standards
Limited IT staff stretched thin across departments
Exposure from third-party contractors and outdated software
A Breach Doesn’t Just Disrupt Services, It Erodes Public Trust
A single breach can halt emergency response, expose personal data, and leave your agency scrambling. Recovery is costly, time-consuming, and often public. Your community expects resilience, do you have the right defenses in place?
