Strengthening Cybersecurity for
State and Local Governments
Protect mission-critical systems, ensure continuity of government operations, and secure every identity and endpoint across public-sector environments.
43GB
A 2025 ransomware attack on the City of St. Paul leaked 43GB of city data and shut down systems for a month.
1,422
Government and public sector environments experienced 1,422 incidents this year, 66% of which confirmed sensitive data disclosure.
$2.83M
State and local governments now face $2.83M in average ransomware recovery costs and weeks of downtime, as seen in Middletown, Ohio.
How Cynet Secures State and Local Government
Government agencies face intensifying cyber threats as they modernize systems, digitize national and local services, and expand cloud adoption. Adversaries, including ransomware groups, cybercriminals, and nation-state actors target public institutions for disruption, data theft, and operational impact. At the same time, agencies must maintain strict compliance, operate under resource constraints, and safeguard diverse environments spanning legacy systems to modern cloud workloads. For IT and security teams, ensuring visibility, resiliency, and rapid response around the clock has been increasingly difficult to manage alone.
Why federal, state and, local government organizations choose Cynet
Select a risk to see how Cynet responds.
Defend High-Value Identities & Access Points Across Government Systems
Government agencies rely on a complex identity footprint. Workers, contractors, service accounts, legacy AD environments, and increasingly non-human identities are all in need of being safeguarded. These identities are frequently targeted for credential theft, privilege escalation, and insider misuse.
Monitoring high-risk credentials across agency systems, legacy AD, cloud identity, VPN access, critical applications, and public-sector APIs. Cynet can automatically isolate compromised identities through the 24x7 MDR CyOps team before adversaries reach classified or citizen-facing data.
Secure Cloud Workloads, Service Portals & Legacy Environments
Public sector environments blend cloud applications with decades old legacy infrastructure, making attack exposure and defense more complex.
Spotting compromised signals across local, state, and federal portals, service delivery apps, login systems and backend government databases. Cynet prevents exploitation-like credential stuffing and fraudulent access attempts before they disrupt public-facing services, internal workflows, and operational systems.
Prevent Ransomware, Nation-State Attacks & Operational Shutdowns
When government networks go offline, the impact halts essential services. From emergency response systems to city operations, cyberattacks like ransomware, and privilege-based intrusions can quickly disrupt critical government applications and operations.
Detecting early-stage ransomware, anomalous lateral movement, and privilege escalation across servers, endpoints, dispatch systems, and public-service interfaces. Cynet protects backups, critical infrastructure and sensitive records, ensuring government agencies can recover quickly and maintain continuity.
Strengthen Compliance, Audit-Readiness & Federal/State Mandated Alignment
Government organizations must follow a wide range of complex and evolving compliance requirements from NIST 800-53 and CJIS to state-level cybersecurity mandates. For IT and security teams, maintaining high levels of readiness is difficult without unified visibility and automated reporting.
Real time detection of policy violations, unsecure configurations, and identity misuse. Cynet’s automated forensic reporting for audits, grant requirements and incident documentation keeps government organizations up to date on expanding regulatory compliance requirements.
Unified Platform Built for Government IT & Security Teams
Government agencies, especially at the state, county, and municipal level, face enterprise-level threats with limited staff and budget. Cynet delivers full visibility, AI-powered detection, and 24x7 protection without requiring additional headcount.
Replacing multiple point tools, with a single unified AI-powered cybersecurity platform that has a built-in 24x7 CyOps MDR team. With Cynet, government organizations can automate investigations and one-click remediation to drastically reduce time-to-response and operational strain.
Secure Government Operations with Unified, Always-On Protection
Government agencies face rising identity-based attacks, ransomware threats, and strict compliance requirements that demand strong yet efficient cybersecurity. Cynet unifies AI-powered protection, automated response, and 24x7 CyOps MDR to give IT and security teams continuous visibility and rapid threat containment without added complexity. With one platform replacing multiple tools, agencies can strengthen resilience, maintain compliance, and keep essential public services running securely.
