A 2020 study found that local governments are more likely to be targeted by ransomware attacks than any other type of organization, and the large-scale shift to telework during the pandemic has only expanded that attack surface.

In this webcast, GCN Editor-in-Chief Troy Schneider will explore the steps some state and local governments are taking, the latest federal guidance, and other potential resources for increasing ransomware resiliency.
