This has proven costly for them, with recent data showing that ransomware attacks cost local and state governments over $18 billion in 2020. Along with increased pressure due to the surge in attacks, state and local governments often face the challenge of limited resources and extended procurement timelines, underscoring the importance of vendors they select for cybersecurity products.
