A letter from a local...

I live here. I work here. I raise my family here. And like a lot of you, I want to see Montana thrive - not just in our towns and communities, but in the digital world too.

But let’s be honest: cyber threats are hitting closer to home. Schools, hospitals, banks, and small businesses across our state are getting targeted because attackers think we’re easy prey. This report is our way of pushing back.

We’ve packed it with real data, local insights, and practical steps to help you get ahead of the threats. It’s not about fear - it’s about being prepared.

Montanans are tough. We know how to take care of our own. Let’s bring that same mindset to cybersecurity.

See you out there,
Brandon Vancleeve
