Safeguarding state and local assets and sensitive resident data from ransomware is no small feat, especially as ransomware attacks do not respect jurisdictional boundaries. Proactively tackling emerging threats is crucial before bad actors disrupt access and encrypt or delete critical data. To minimize the negative impacts of ransomware attacks and ensure quick recovery, states and localities need a comprehensive security response. By adopting a whole-of-state cybersecurity approach, IT teams can promote information sharing, including ransomware attack prevention techniques, to protect both state and local resources.
What innovative solutions are state and local governments implementing to combat ransomware? How are they tackling security, privacy, and funding challenges? And what advice do leaders have for other state and local teams looking to mitigate ransomware risks? Join GovExec, Arrow, and immixGroup as we explore how a robust cybersecurity strategy can help fight ransomware attacks across state and local entities.
