Cybersecurity Awareness Training for Local Government - SWGRC

Local governments are prime targets for cyberattacks because they provide essential public services, manage sensitive records, and often operate with limited time, staff, and resources. In practice, many incidents do not begin with a sophisticated technical exploit. They begin with a person clicking, trusting, replying, or sharing at the wrong moment.

This course is a practical, easy-to-follow cybersecurity awareness program designed specifically for local government environments. It helps public employees recognize how common cyber incidents happen in day-to-day operations, what warning signs to watch for, and what simple actions reduce risk across departments—without requiring technical expertise.

Who this is for
