# **Protecting Local Governments from Evolving Cyber Threats**

Local governments rely on a variety of network-connected systems like web-based 
thin clients, RDP, and industrial machinery to operate. Internal teams (on-site,
hybrid, remote), contractors , and third-party vendors require these systems to 
be remotely accessible to complete their tasks.

With a recent rise of threat actors conducting large scale cyber attacks you need
to ensure that remote access is properly implemented and systems aren’t reachable
to threat actors.  Recent cases include threat actors that have armed over [30,000 IPs to probe RDP](https://www.greynoise.io/blog/surge-malicious-ips-probe-microsoft-remote-desktop)
or [weaponizing ArcGIS as a long-term backdoor to networks](https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/14/chinese_hackers_arcgis_backdoor/).

Tools like [Shodan.io](http://shodan.io) are designed to scan the internet and catalogue
exposed services and systems including RDP, HMIs, and PLCs – All entry points into
your network. This public visibility list of vulnerabilities essentially acts as
a phonebook for cyber attackers, meaning threat actors are able to identify and 
conduct attacks faster, whether it’s an unsecured connection used by a vendor or
a network connected control system. 

Join Agilicus as we explore ways you can protect your organization from these evolving
threats, identify third-party risks, and lock down remote access for every user 
that works with or for your local government.

 * Implement robust access strategies to protect your systems from growing threats
 * Keep remote access as a part of your operations without creating changes in user
   workflow
 * Allow any user to access what they need, with their existing emails, from anywhere
   with Single Sign-on and Multi-factor Authentication, even with unlike identity
   providers
