Multi-Signal Managed Detection and Response for State and Local Governments

The responsibility to secure and protect personal information should be top priority. Here are the steps you can take to protect your critical assets from the increasing volume of sophisticated cyberattacks:

• Implement strong security measures (e.g., endpoint protection, firewalls, IDS, etc.)
• Assess your environment for vulnerabilities
• Regularly update and patch software
• Conduct phishing and security awareness training
• Proactively develop an incident response plan in the event of an attack
• Stay on top of the latest threat intelligence

State and local government agencies and educations institutions are being targeted by threat actors due to the extensive management of sensitive data (e.g., PII/PHI, electoral data, and sensitive financial data).

These threat actors are primarily motivated by financial incentives, but some may also be operating within nation-state espionage programs. Therefore, you must allocate the appropriate budget, champion cyber risk awareness, and model informed behavior to reduce risk, build resilience, and prevent service disruption.

We support a growing list of customers in state and local government agencies including:

• County and city governments
• State supreme courts
• State boards
• Health and safety departments
• Law enforcement departments
• County commissioners’ offices
• State universities and community colleges
• School districts

eSentire supports your government agencies or education institution through a combination of our Exposure Management Services portfolio, 24/7 Managed Detection and Response (MDR), and Incident Response services to ensure your organization achieves cyber resilience and prevents service disruption.
