State and Local government (SLG) agencies are an attractive target for attackers. They hold access to sensitive databases including personal information, financial records and medical records, and often oversee critical infrastructure. SLG security teams must also deal with complicating factors that make their jobs especially difficult. Those factors, including strict compliance mandates, budget uncertainties, staff shortages, skill gaps and more, arguably place SLG cybersecurity challenges in a class of their own.
