Technical debt in state and local governments hinders IT modernization, causing cybersecurity vulnerabilities and inefficiencies. Legacy systems create silos, complicating incident response and threat detection. Reducing technical debt is vital for enhancing citizen services and security. A gap analysis should identify legacy technologies, followed by prioritizing updates based on risk. Hyperconverged infrastructure can streamline upgrades and improve security by consolidating resources and enhancing visibility, ultimately enabling better threat response and performance.
