"Even with cyber insurance and preventive measures in place, the growing frequency and sophistication of attacks calls for government entities to perform cyber health checks and revisit resilience strategies. The effort more than pays off."

Key considerations for organizations Smarter systems architecture - Many state and local governments have deferred IT modernization, which leaves governments with increasingly vulnerable networks and systems.

More prepared workforce - Governments should look to creative human capital approaches to train, retain and share more qualified cyber talent as well as private-public-higher education partnerships to effectively tackle cyber security.

Cyber insurance usage scenarios - The use of cyber insurance can be an effective strategy for governments to contain the cost of attacks.

Practiced response - Governments should practice responding to cyber incidents with wargames and simulations, involving business and program leaders so they understand the threats and their roles in response and recovery.
