Local governments across Indiana are partnering with the Indiana Office of Technology as a resource for free cybersecurity training, web hosting and access to cost-saving technology and equipment. We are working together to make technology secure for all of Indiana.
Many of our services are free, easy to access and implement, and they help reduce the burdens that come with the massive responsibility local governments face. This enables them to deliver government services more effectively and efficiently, saving time and money for the higher priority projects.
IOT's 2023 Community Listening Tour is done for the year!
The Indiana Office of Technology is inviting local government units to find how we can better protect against growing cybersecurity threats and attacks. Indiana has about 3,000 local units of government, but many do not use a trusted .gov domain. IOT provides free in.gov domains for email, websites and web applications.
