**The current state of government cloud security** Government agencies are attractive targets for ransomware and state-sponsored bad actors. As a result, agencies must meet multiple U.S. federal government mandates, such as FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, OMB 21-31, and the Zero Trust Executive Order. In addition, many states and municipalities have additional compliance requirements. When agencies comply with these federal and state mandates and requirements, they are less vulnerable.  Safeguarding infrastructure and addressing compliance isn’t easy. Agencies at all levels often have hybrid and multi-cloud environments, creating silos that are difficult to protect. State and local agencies, in particular, often lack cybersecurity resources and personnel. Incident response can be slow and difficult.
