What can Dallas City Hall learn from ransomware attack? | Opinion
estimates that the costs of such malware attacks could reach $265 billion annually by 2031. From everyday Americans to small businesses to large organizations, nobody is immune. For a city like Dallas, the stakes are even higher because of the responsibility for public safety and emergency services.
The ransomware attack disrupted several systems, including the computer-assisted dispatch for 911, forcing first responders to rely on radios and pen and paper to manage emergencies.
Dallas City Hall had already taken some steps to guard against malware, including splitting up its network into multiple segments, which officials say lessened the severity of the ransomware attack. As Dallas works to recover from this cyberattack, the City Council and city administrators must consider what additional investments they need to make to protect city networks from another intrusion.
