RE: Ransomware victims rising in local government...
That the leaders need a direct blow to wake up and that there are still cases in which they refuse to wake up and act to solve the problems, is something that sounds familiar to me. Although it is also something you can find throughout the history of various civilizations. It seems that as the leaders are here to maintain the Status quo and not to advance to the future, they do not accept to do anything that changes things even when that change is to improve and give greater security.
It has to be qualifiable and quantifiable. That's what I learned a long time ago when dealing with executives. Make your case understandable and most importantly do a thorough job when it comes to realistic estimations in regard to possible damages. But this means you have to do your homework. No shortcuts and blanket arguments. Understand what it is worth that you try to protect and align the protective measures to these price tags. That's something most executives understand very clearly. Dollars! Hahhaha!
