Book excerpt: In the wake of increased targeted attacks on local governments, it is clear that there are a number of systemic challenges for counties and cities when it comes to protecting their cyber space. The purpose of this paper is to advance the understanding of existing cyber security deficiencies that exist in local government and to explore some of the core issues that contribute to this gap. Government has a vested responsibility to maintain and uphold public interests, and the new virtual space has presented many new challenges in the area of responsibility for public safety and security. Understanding the relationship between the private sector and government also helps to advance national cyber security standards. This study builds off of existing work in the area of cybersecurity in an attempt to build a stronger understanding of the cyber security gap in local government and better inform why it exists.
