strengthening-cybersecurity-imp-practices-for-sale-and-local-agencies

State and local governments (SLGs) face mounting cybersecurity challenges due to limited resources, outdated infrastructure, and increasingly sophisticated threats like phishing and ransomware. As attacks target both network perimeters and internal vulnerabilities—especially via unmanaged.

IoT devices—agencies are turning to managed security services for support.

Key takeaways:

Phishing and credential theft are now the top threat vectors, making real-time threat detection and response essential.
Legacy infrastructure and lack of 24/7 monitoring leave many agencies vulnerable to advanced attacks.
Defense-in-depth strategies, including MFA, EDR, and UTM firewalls, offer multilayere protection against internal and external threats.
Comcast Business solutions helped one SLG improve security and performance across nearly 50 locations following a cyber attack.
