Managed Detection and Response
(MDR)
System Security
Over the past few years, U.S. state and local government agencies, including education institutions, have been the target of hundreds of public sector cyberattacks. With over 90,000 U.S. local government units serving millions of citizens who place an immense amount of trust in these agencies to provide essential services while safeguarding their personally identifiable information (PII), it’s no wonder that state and local governments are an attractive target for cybercriminals.
Recent geopolitical tensions have also prompted state and local government agencies to prioritize how they anticipate, withstand, and recover from cyberattacks in the public sector. However, many agencies are impacted by resource constraints, decreasing budgets, and cybersecurity staffing shortages.
As a result, state and local government leaders have an increasingly complex set of challenges when it comes to preventing operational disruption across the services that their constituents rely on, ensuring election security and protecting critical infrastructure from advanced cyber threats.
As a SLED cybersecurity leader, you need 24/7 threat hunting, detection, and response capabilities, continuous protection of your networks and proprietary supply chain data, strong access control measures, and proactive defense against cyberattackers targeting your organization.
We are recognized globally as the Authority in Managed Detection and Response because we hunt, investigate, and stop known and unknown cyber threats before they become business disrupting events. Since our founding in 2001 we have protected the world’s most targeted organizations with 65% of our global base recognized as critical infrastructure, vital to economic health and stability.

GET YOUR REPORT →State and local government agencies, including education institutions, are responsible for highly visible, critical infrastructure services that citizens depend on and trust every day so even the slightest disruption is noticeable and public. Moreover, many agencies manage huge volumes of sensitive data, including personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI), electoral data, and financial information like credit card numbers and banking details.
Driven primarily by financial incentives, but also in some cases acting within nation-state espionage programs, threat actors frequently target SLED organizations. Therefore, state and local government leaders must allocate the appropriate budget, champion cyber risk awareness, and model informed behavior to maintain a strong cybersecurity posture, build cyber resilience, and prevent operational disruption.
