The Stakes Have Never Been Higher
From ransomware attacks that paralyze city operations to breaches that leak citizen data, cyber threats against state and local governments are growing in both frequency and complexity. The question is no longer if an attack will happen, but when.
Yet, many public sector organizations are under-resourced, understaffed, and unprepared. That’s where resilience comes in.
Legacy Systems. Limited Budgets. Looming Threats.
Public agencies often face:
- Aging infrastructure that can’t handle modern threats
- Limited cybersecurity expertise and staffing
- Budget constraints that delay upgrades
- Compliance demands without clear implementation paths
These gaps can leave vital services and sensitive data vulnerable to exploitation.
Here Are Five Proven Strategies for Stronger Cyber Resilience
Here’s how state and local government agencies and municipalities can step up their cyber resilience strategy and how Tego helps at every step:
1. Implement a 3-2-1 Backup Strategy
Why it matters: Data loss due to attacks or system failures can disrupt critical government functions, such as 911 operations and SCADA systems.
How Tego helps: We deploy and manage robust backup solutions built on the proven 3-2-1 model: three copies of data, two types of media, and one offsite, for fast and reliable recovery.
2. Modernize Your Infrastructure
Why it matters: Legacy systems can impact productivity and efficiency, leaving you vulnerable to attacks.
How Tego helps: Our infrastructure modernization and Enterprise Managed Services enable agencies to adopt secure, scalable, and future-ready environments without disrupting essential services.
3. Strengthen Endpoint Security
Why it matters: Every device is a potential entry point, making it easier for cyber criminals to gain access to your environment.
How Tego helps: We offer end-to-end endpoint protection, threat detection, and rapid response solutions tailored for public sector environments.
4. Conduct Regular Security Assessments
Why it matters: You can’t fix what you can’t see, so how do you know what gaps exist in your environment?
How Tego helps: Tego provides in-depth security and compliance assessments, as well as penetration testing, to help governments identify and address risks before they’re exploited.
5. Educate and Train Your Workforce
Why it matters: Human error is the leading cause of breaches.
How Tego helps: Our cybersecurity training can equip your staff with the awareness and tools they need to prevent mishandling data and falling victim to phishing and social engineering attacks.
