What the 2026
Breach Data Shows
Verizon analyzed more than 22,000 confirmed breaches for the 2026 DBIR. Government faces a mix of criminal groups and state-affiliated actors, with unpatched vulnerabilities the way in.
Confirmed breaches in public administration, from 3,634 total security incidents.
Vulnerability exploitation drove 82% of hacking-related breaches in government.
State-affiliated actors appeared in just over one third of breaches.

Modernizing Cybersecurity for
a County Government
A county government in the Southeastern U.S. struggled to align with NIST and FFIEC guidance while maintaining legacy systems with limited visibility and control. Budget constraints and staffing gaps compounded the challenge.
- Misalignment with NIST and FFIEC frameworks
- Legacy systems with limited visibility and control
- Insufficient cybersecurity funding and staffing
- No formal cybersecurity plan or governance structure
RB Advisory deployed a structured, multi-phase approach to close compliance gaps, modernize critical infrastructure, and build a sustainable cybersecurity program aligned to NIST SP 800-171 and FFIEC guidance.
- Detailed cybersecurity gap analysis across all county systems
- Modernized key network infrastructure and access controls
- Developed cybersecurity plan aligned with NIST SP 800-171
- Implemented continuous monitoring and reporting capabilities
- Built vendor risk management framework
- Designed role-based awareness training program
- Improved NIST and FFIEC alignment across all departments
- Federal cybersecurity funding secured for continued improvements
- Enhanced long-term resilience and operational continuity
- Greater transparency and control over cybersecurity posture
The guidance RB Advisory provided was instrumental in modernizing our cybersecurity operations. Their team helped us understand where our risks were, align our program with NIST expectations, and secure critical funding for improvement. We now operate with far greater transparency, control, and resilience.
