Proactive Cybersecurity for State & Local Governments ​

Counties and municipalities are prime targets for cybercriminals thanks to a patchwork of legacy systems, lack of staffing, limited visibility across environments, and budget constraints.

These challenges make it difficult for state and local agencies to develop and maintain a fully functioning, mature SOC with 24×7 monitoring and properly triaged alerts.

By the Numbers

Local governments are struggling to keep pace with advancing technology in the face of rising cybercrime​

Cybersecurity is an essential part of state and local government’s work to digitize services and improve productivity at a lower cost. But this can’t be accomplished unless it’s accompanied by cyber resilience and strong security protocols like those provided by the industry-leader in security operations solutions.

Fewer than half of officials (48%) reported that their governments had adopted cybersecurity policies and standards countywide, had conducted a risk assessment (46%), or had a cyberattack response plan in place (22%)

Cyber insurance is driving state and local government organizations to improve cyber defenses: 96% have upgraded their cyber defenses to secure coverage.

State and local IT and cybersecurity teams are underprepared and under resourced for 2024

According to a recent survey conducted by Arctic Wolf and the Center for Digital Government, more than half of respondents reported they are not at all prepared or somewhat prepared to detect and recover from election-targeted cyber incidents.
