    The challenge of ensuring local government cyber security

Local governments are privy to a significant amount of personal and sensitive information concerning their citizens, and these institutions must be responsible for protecting that data from theft by cyberattack. Additionally, the services provided by local governments are vital to the communities they serve, and the impact on individuals can be significant when cybercrime shuts down or impacts day-to-day government operations.

Faced with constrained budgets and the pressure to deliver results quickly, public institutions need powerful yet affordable government IT solutions that can be implement rapidly.
