Springbrook Software 2026 Cybersecurity Survey: Local Governments Abandoning Aging Legacy Systems for Cloud Security at Record Pace

AMERICAN FORK, Utah, Feb. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Springbrook Software, a leading provider of finance and administration software for local government, today released its 2026 Cybersecurity Survey: A Two-Year Analysis of Cyber Readiness in Local Government. The report reveals a decisive shift in the public sector: as software infrastructure ages and "legacy systems remain entrenched," local governments are aggressively migrating to the cloud to fortify their cybersecurity posture against escalating threats.

Based on data from nearly 350 local government professionals, the two-year analysis identifies a critical tipping point. While agencies grapple with aging ERP platforms—nearly one-third of which effectively lack the confidence of their users—they are responding by dismantling on-premises infrastructure in favor of cloud-native environments that offer automated patching and AI-enhanced security.

"Local governments are modernizing, but the pace is uneven. With agencies now the top target for bad actors, the drive to the cloud is no longer just about efficiency—it is a security imperative. We built the Cirrus platform to provide the cloud-native protection and operational resilience that are essential for today's local governments," says Chris Dinkler, CEO Springbrook Software.

Key Findings from the 2026 Report:
