Pennsylvania townships face increasing risks from digital threats such as phishing attacks, ransomware, and data breaches, often exacerbated by outdated IT infrastructure. These threats can severely disrupt local government operations and compromise citizen data.

To address these risks, townships should adopt best practices like employee training to recognize cyber threats, implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA), regularly updating software, and conducting routine security audits.

Additionally, townships can leverage resources such as state and federal grants, partnerships with organizations like the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Commissioners (PSATC), and participation in threat intelligence networks. Take proactive steps today to safeguard your township—schedule a comprehensive cybersecurity audit to identify vulnerabilities and strengthen your defenses.
