Challenges Faced by State and Local Governments

State and local governments are facing increasing challenges with the security of citizen data and public services due to advanced and evolving cyber threats. Adversaries exploit the speed at which they can escalate breaches, taking only an average of 62 minutes to move from a compromised host to the wider network. With millions of citizens' data at risk, state and local governments often become prime targets for attackers. Additionally, resource constraints, such as budget limitations and a shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals, make staffing and securing systems even more challenging.
