What Are States and Local Governments Doing to Improve Cybersecurity?

State and local governments are taking steps to improve their cybersecurity with increased attention to their environments and their third-party suppliers. Zero-trust strategies are being implemented to ensure that protocols are in place for more secure interactions with users and the public sector.

Key Takeaways

• First, consider what systems need protection and who has access to them.
• The zero-trust behavior model has shifted from “trust but verify” to “trust by exception through verification.” This is a very important change for the public sector.
• Ensure that suppliers are using the same zero-trust principles. Establish consistent zero-trust principles between suppliers.
