An emergency in your organisation? When it matters most, preparedness, clear accountability and the ability to act are crucial.

How prepared are our local governments? Responses from 232 local authorities, alongside technical findings, reveal the gap between feeling secure and being able to handle an incident. Is antivirus protection enough? Who takes the lead when a local authority loses access to its data? And how can we tell whether investments in security are actually working?

This presentation will connect findings from practice with planned support for municipalities with up to 6,000 residents, backed by an indicative allocation of €39 million. It will highlight where to focus efforts so that local governments can maintain services for citizens even when technology fails or a cyberattack strikes.
