Overview

October 4

Watch Now

Local and state governments have many endpoints and networks to manage and protect, but their operations come under increased threat of cyberattacks as the levels of security across departments become fragmented. Creating a fully integrated approach improves visibility and cohesion among branches of an agency, allowing them to take a proactive stance when it comes to mitigating risks.

Seeing across silos on this matter strengthens an organization’s core by communicating a standard across the agency. By getting everyone on the same page when it comes to security, agencies can ensure team members have the information and tools they need to combat today’s evolving threat landscape.
