Local public sector
Local government and public sector IT infrastructure
Local government IT must keep portals, public information pages, email, document workflows, files, unit systems and integrations running, often with limited internal staff.
Portals and citizen services
Public services should be available, fast and restorable. DNS, SSL, backup and monitoring matter for portals, forms, public information pages and APIs.
Email and collaboration
Local government needs stable email, antispam filters, shared calendars, address books, backups and directory integration.
Municipal units and companies
Schools, libraries, municipal companies and local units can use separated VPS environments, shared DNS, backup and administration.
Operational security
Reduce attack surface, use MFA, segmentation, offline copies, restore tests and incident or outage response procedures.
