Did you know that nearly one-third of governmental entities would be unable to tell if they were under attack in cyberspace? Many local governments are lacking strategies and tools to prevent cybercrimes and are vulnerable to successful cyberattacks.

 

Governmental entities are considered "soft target" organizations without resources for defending themselves against routine cyberattacks. Daily operations can be drastically disrupted and can place citizens at risk if cyber defenses are not immediately addressed. The consequences of a successful cyberattack against a local governmental entity can be devastating. 

Public Entity Partners is pleased to announce the second annual Cyber Security Matching Grant Program. This grant assists eligible members with general liability coverage in purchasing cyber security tools, training and services designed to protect members from ransomware and social engineering. This valuable grant program allows members to increase their ability to qualify for Cyber Extension Coverage.

 

Applications are currently being accepted until Jan. 12 and are available at this LINK. Please contact Tahtia Mitchell, TMitchell@PEpartners.org for more information.
