Make your voice heard
Your tax dollars fund government IT. When basic security isn’t implemented, you pay for the breach recovery, ransomware payments, and legal settlements. Share your local government’s security grade with your community — post it on Facebook, tag your representatives on X, or bring it up at your next city council meeting.
Public awareness is the single most effective way to drive change in government cybersecurity.
