Catalyit's Advice

Be sure you have a strong antivirus system, preferably behavior-based.

 

A sound backup system that is onsite, offsite, and monitored externally is essential.

 

External monitoring of your network is essential to stop threats immediately.

 

Training all agency employees on how to recognize a threat is critical.

 

Email is the most frequent source of a cyber-attack. A firm anti-phishing policy is essential.

Steve Anderson's Take

“For most agencies, a relationship with an outside cybersecurity firm will be required to provide the protection you need. Review their capabilities and choose one that is responsive and offers a full range of services to protect you. The goal is to make yourself a “hard target.” There is nothing that is 100 percent in this area. The best you can do is use the best protection you can afford and be able to recover quickly from an attack using your backup system.”
