The entire world is in the data business. Every organization, regardless of size or industry, depends on data to provide better products, services and a greater overall customer experience. This is especially the case for government agencies, as their data allows for critical decision-making that keeps our communities happy, well-informed and secure. 

Both state and local government agencies have made considerable strides in digitizing services for citizens while simultaneously ensuring their personal data is secure from a cyberattack. However, the risk of a breach still looms large overhead as threat actors become increasingly more sophisticated and data breaches become more costly. 

Many believe that if an organization can pass a federal or state cybersecurity audit meeting minimum requirements, it’s good enough. But is “good enough” truly enough, though?

Is your sensitive data encrypted end-to-end, or are there unforeseen gaps your community or state agency is unaware of? 

These questions can be difficult to answer with any real certainty. With data security, data privacy and compliance regulations constantly in the spotlight, the implications of a cybersecurity attack (and how to prevent it) can be overwhelming. Add complex policies, federal guidelines and ongoing advancements in technology, and it’s hard for any government agency to keep up. 

So, What’s the Answer?
State and local agencies have the heavy task of remaining a step ahead of potential cyber threats. Not all organizations have the internal resources to make such guarantees though, let alone have the capacity to keep their most sensitive data secure from threat actors — domestic or foreign. 

They find themselves relying heavily on turnkey cybersecurity providers to help them discover, protect and control their most sensitive data.
