Myth: Public systems never fail
Key Takeaways:
Trust no service blindly, even state court systems get hit
Downtime from a cyberattack can mean weeks without access to critical records
Protecting your data is more than backups, it’s about proactive defense
Many business owners believe big public systems operate flawlessly. In Georgia we just saw otherwise. On Nov 21 the GSCCCA activated defensive cybersecurity protocols after a credible ransomware threat shut down access to land records, notary applications, and other vital clerking services for days.([wsbtv.com](https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/crucial-website-clerk-services-georgia-back-online-after-cyberattack/SQRV3NAUUZD7PLIID575SHHFR4/?outputType=amp&utm_source=openai)) If a state agency is vulnerable, your local business is too, especially when customers, contracts, or compliance depend on those systems.
Ask yourself these 3 questions:
• Do you know what data your business holds that could be exposed?
• Are your backups tested and offsite?
• Is your team ready to identify phishing or threats?
Let’s make sure your security setup is actually airtight.
