Public Services Don’t Stop.
Your Recovery Can’t Either.
Data resilience built for cities, counties, school districts, and public utilities. The Trinity Platform brings prevention, detection, and recovery into one operating model, and our 24/7 U.S.-based recovery specialists make sure resident services stay online when something goes wrong.
The Threat Has Caught Up.
Most Budgets Have Not.
Increase in ransomware incidents targeting schools, colleges, and local government since January 2025. The threat actors targeting municipal environments are the same professional operations targeting Fortune 500 companies.
Three trends define what city, county, and school district IT teams are facing right now.
Vendor Breaches That Cascade
BridgePay’s ransomware incident took down credit-card payment systems for cities, utilities, and at least one county across four states this year. The municipalities themselves had not been breached. The processor had. Their residents experienced the outage anyway.
Funding Uncertainty
The State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program is currently authorized only through fiscal year 2026. IT leaders are making 2027 and 2028 plans without knowing what federal support will look like.
Political Pressure During Incidents
When residents cannot pay their bills, register their cars, or attend a court hearing, the calls go to elected officials, not to IT. The incident response timeline gets compressed by political pressure no IT director controls.
One Platform for Total Cyber Resilience
The Trinity Platform brings prevention, detection, and recovery under one accountable team. For local government IT, that integration is the difference between owning the response and waiting for three vendors to coordinate on a holiday weekend.
Prevent
Air-gapped, immutable vaults and network-level isolation stop ransomware from reaching the backup copy. Your recovery survives even if a credential gets stolen.
Detect
24/7 monitoring with U.S.-based analysts who recognize the early signals of ransomware, credential theft, and lateral movement across municipal networks. The team acts in minutes.
Recover
Validated restore testing, sub-15-minute RPOs, and a recovery specialist on call to walk your team through the actual restore when an incident hits.
Built for the Realities of
Public Sector IT
What CyberFortress brings to local government — six capabilities built specifically for the environments, obligations, and constraints municipal IT teams actually face.
Ransomware Defense for Public Infrastructure
Immutable, air-gapped backups governed by a separate trust domain from your production environment. Attackers cannot encrypt, delete, or modify the recovery copy, even with administrator credentials.
Independent Backup for SaaS and Vendor Systems
When BridgePay-style breaches hit your payment processor, permit system, or court records platform, your data is recoverable from a copy your municipality controls.
Service Continuity for Critical Departments
Fast restore options for utility billing, payment processing, court records, 311 systems, public safety, and education platforms. Residents see the outcome, not the outage.
Legacy System Compatibility
Aging infrastructure still common in municipalities and school districts gets the same backup discipline as modern environments. No system left unprotected.
Compliance and Recordkeeping Support
Retention controls aligned with public recordkeeping laws, FISMA-style governance, and cyber insurance requirements that local governments are increasingly being asked to meet.
24/7 U.S.-Based Recovery Specialists
The same team that builds your backup runs the recovery when an incident fires, regardless of when it happens. We pick up the phone.
Built for Public Sector
Workflows
CyberFortress integrates with the platforms public sector IT actually runs day to day.
Real Incidents We Handle
for Public Sector IT
Most data protection conversations stay abstract until something actually breaks. These are the scenarios local government IT teams bring to us most often.
City government recovering files and operations after a ransomware attack
School district restoring student information system data during a hardware failure or breach
Water utility maintaining uptime through infrastructure transition or cyber incident
County clerk restoring court records after a third-party vendor outage
Municipal payment system recovering from a vendor breach without losing transaction history
Police and fire department systems recovering from ransomware with no operational downtime
