Warding the Walls: Ransomware, Zero Trust, and the Fight for Critical Infrastructure

Municipalities face escalating cyber threats like devastating ransomware attacks, which have cost cities like Atlanta millions of dollars in recovery and disrupted essential public services. This vulnerability is amplified by the mass deployment of interconnected IoT devices and the convergence of traditional IT with sensitive Operational Technology (OT), blurring security boundaries and expanding the potential attack surface. We explore essential strategies, from embracing Zero Trust Architecture to establishing integrated governance, vital for city leaders and IT teams seeking to build cyber-resilient communities and protect critical infrastructure.
