Vendor access is an increasingly important consideration in courthouse cybersecurity. Courts depend on third-party technology providers for critical systems, creating potential points of vulnerability that can extend beyond a single organization.

Effective planning requires courthouse leadership to understand which vendors have remote access, what systems they can reach, how incidents are reported, and how operations and data recovery will be managed during an outage. Third-party technology can have direct implications for courthouse operations, security, and continuity.

Fentress’ work on the Augusta County Courthouse is an example of this type of planning, exploring options to retain the existing courthouse while addressing current and future operational needs. For historic facilities, thoughtful planning can help determine how an existing building can continue serving the community for years to come.

As AI-driven cyber threats become more capable and automated, the impact on courthouses can extend beyond digital systems to physical security, court operations, and continuity.
