Local Governments, Global Threats: Top of Mind Cybersecurity Trends for State and Local Leaders in 2019

February 28, 2019

Gone are the days when random hackers or teenagers running code in their basements posed the greatest cybersecurity threats. Now, state and local governments are top targets of well-funded professional cyber criminals. Using various means to debilitate business processes, steal public records or data, and extort unprepared organizations for ransom, cases abound of governments being caught unprepared or ill-equipped to respond and recover from a cyberattack. For example, in March 2018, the City of Atlanta was paralyzed by a hack that held the city hostage.

22 Cybersecurity Tips for 2022

whitePaper | June 13, 2022

Many cyber-attacks involve ransomware, a form of malicious software or malware, designed to deny access to a computer system or data until a ransom is paid and a decryption key (commonly called a decryptor) is given to the victim. The encryption is virtually unbreakable without the decryption key, and you should not spend valuable time seeking a way around the encryption if you are attacked with it. Ransomware can spread in multiple ways, but most typically, through phishing emails or by unknowingly visiting an infected website. Ransomware can be catastrophic to healthcare and other organizations, preventing critical information and systems for patient care from being accessed, for example.
