Municipalities and public utilities hold millions of citizen records under tight budget constraints. We act as your co-managed security team, safeguarding critical infrastructure and public data.
Nation-states, ransomware gangs, hacktivists, and insider threats all target government networks - for very different reasons, with very different tools.
Large databases containing tax records, licensing data, court filings, and benefits information represent millions of citizen identities. A single agency breach exposes more PII than most corporate incidents — with no ability to offer meaningful remediation at government budget levels.
Networked water distribution, traffic management, and emergency response systems are increasingly connected to the same enterprise environment as email and productivity tools. A compromise of these systems creates immediate public safety implications beyond the IT environment.
Third-party contractors and managed service providers with privileged ingress points represent an uncontrolled attack surface. The SolarWinds compromise demonstrated how government networks can be fully breached through a trusted vendor channel without a single direct attack.
Government cybersecurity requirements span federal guidelines, CISA mandates, and increasingly specific state-level requirements. We navigate all of them simultaneously.
We understand government procurement cycles, budget constraints, and compliance documentation requirements - and design programs that work within them from day one.
Continuous monitoring of government endpoints, citizen-facing portals, critical infrastructure interfaces, and cloud environments. Threat intelligence enriched with MS-ISAC and government sector-specific IOCs. Every alert triaged by a human analyst - no automated false-positive dismissals. Mean time to contain: under 9 minutes.
Fractional CISO ownership of your government cybersecurity program - NIST CSF maturity assessment, CISA KEV remediation tracking, annual risk assessments, and policy library maintenance. Delivers the security officer function required by state cybersecurity mandates without a full-time hire.
External network testing, citizen portal application testing, and critical infrastructure interface segmentation validation. Legacy system exposure assessment identifying highest-risk unpatched vulnerabilities. Full documentation package aligned to NIST SP 800-115 and government audit requirements.
Phishing simulation and security awareness training designed for government employees - scenario libraries covering wire fraud targeting procurement, credential harvesting via citizen portal lookalikes, and social engineering of employees with elevated system access. Role-based training with compliance reporting for auditors.
