Empowering New Hampshire and Vermont Municipalities with Secure IT Solutions
In today’s digital landscape, municipalities face growing challenges in managing their IT networks and ensuring robust cybersecurity. Towns and cities everywhere need dependable technology solutions to protect sensitive data, ensure operational continuity, and serve their communities effectively.
Now smaller towns are becoming bigger targets because of both real and perceived security vulnerabilities.
CCI Managed Services has developed a specialty in addressing these concerns through Complete Care engagements—comprehensive IT contracts that provide tailored, secure, and reliable IT services for municipalities.
The Challenges Municipalities Face with IT Networks
Municipal IT networks often handle highly sensitive information, from resident data to financial records. This makes them a prime target for cyberattacks. Yet, many towns and cities lack the resources to maintain a dedicated, in-house IT team capable of managing these threats. Common concerns for town and city managers include:
- Cybersecurity Threats: Ransomware attacks on municipalities are on the rise, as reported by the Government Technology journal. Without proper safeguards, these attacks can disrupt essential services and lead to costly downtime.
- Aging Infrastructure: Many municipalities operate on outdated IT systems that are prone to failures and vulnerabilities.
- Regulations Requirements: State and federal regulations require municipalities to follow strict data protection and privacy guidelines. Failing to comply can result in legal and financial repercussions.
- Limited Budgets: Towns and cities often struggle to allocate sufficient funds for IT, leading to patchwork solutions that may not fully address their needs.
