State & Local Government

Local government runs critical services on lean IT teams and long hardware cycles. It is also the segment ransomware crews target hardest, precisely because of that.

The specific problem

A county network frequently carries public safety, utilities, records and administration on shared infrastructure, maintained by a team of a handful of people. Flat networks make that manageable day to day and catastrophic during an incident.

What we prioritize

• Segmentation between public safety, utility control and general administration — the single change that most limits incident scope
• Unified EPP and EDR that a small team can actually operate, with tuning done before handover rather than left as an exercise
• Coverage for building systems, surveillance and access control, which are routinely unmanaged and routinely the entry point
• Recovery paths that assume the management plane is also compromised

Procurement reality

We scope to what can be funded in one cycle and sequenced across the next, and we write deliverables so they survive a change of administration. A three-year architecture nobody can fund in year one is not a plan.
