# State Leaders Expand Municipal Cybersecurity

GovExec TV will host a one-hour webinar on October 20, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. EDT, on how state technology leaders are extending cybersecurity protections to municipalities and special districts through whole-of-state governance, shared services, and relationship-building. The announcement identifies no solicitation, contract, or specific agency procurement, but offers contractors insight into governance challenges and service models that could shape future state and local cybersecurity demand.

- State and local cybersecurity providers can use the discussion to assess how shared-service approaches may affect demand across municipalities and special districts.
- Contractors pursuing this market should account for cross-jurisdiction coordination and relationship-building as part of service strategies; the announcement does not specify requirements or a procurement timeline.
