Key Insights from the Two-Year Trend:

• Awareness vs. Urgency: While 86% of agencies were aware of ransomware attacks in 2024, that number dropped to 70% in 2025—suggesting a “normalization” of risk despite rising threats.
• The Budget Gap: Cybersecurity budgets are rising, but not fast enough to match the speed and sophistication of modern nation-state actors and deepfake intrusions.
• The Fragmentation Risk: 54% of local governments still use multiple, fragmented systems, which increases the attack surface and complicates patch management.
• Modernization is Accelerating: Local governments are aggressively moving off on-premises infrastructure in favor of cloud-native solutions.

Don’t leave your community exposed. Modern, cloud-native platforms offer the stability and security needed to deliver uninterrupted services to your residents.
