Cybersecurity isn’t just an IT issue—it’s a governance priority for mayors, town managers, and council members. With a 30% increase in cyberattacks on municipalities and schools, the need for proactive risk management has never been greater.
50% of public sector breaches involve personal data, putting citizens' privacy at risk. Approximately, 85% of public organizations have accelerated digital transformation, increasing cyber threats.
Municipal leaders must take an active role in funding, developing, and enforcing cybersecurity policies, including:
✅ Risk management & data handling
✅ Incident response planning
✅ Staff training & vendor management
CRCOG, in partnership with Novus Insight, offers a Cybersecurity Cohort Training Series—a cost-effective way for municipal leaders to strengthen cyber resilience, ensure compliance, and protect critical infrastructure.
