Proactive Security Solution for Midwest Local Government

With the help of the CC/B1 Platform™, a large Midwest County government up-leveled its cyber defense and protected itself against more than 730,000 significant priority level-one security threats.

When a Local or County government experiences a cyber-attack, it’s not just the entity’s network security that’s at risk — it’s also the lives of the residents who depend on it to supply safe drinking water, access to oil and gas, and critical emergency services. Government organizations have become prime targets for cyber-attacks due to their dependence on critical IT systems, lean budgets and minimal staff, and the treasure trove of valuable information stored in their networks. Knowing these factor, including a rootkit virus that had cost their organization thousands of dollars in cleanup, our Midwest County client embarked on a 45-day test of our CC/B1 Platform™. The CC/B1 went on to detect and stop over 730,000 unique attacks, helping their small staff sleep much better at night.

Financial services and banking institutions have long been prime targets for cyber attacks for a simple reason – where there’s money, there’s money to be made. According to a study conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank, companies in this sector are 300x times more at risk for data security threats than any other industry. Knowing this, the midwest bank knew they needed to implement a comprehensive network security strategy – and they needed to do it with a lack of staff and budget.

Healthcare systems are particularly vulnerable to cyberattacks due to the sheer volume of information they possess – information that’s of high monetary and intelligence value. Pair that with the incredible complexity of healthcare organizations – legacy systems, resource availability, compliance, and more – and you’ve got yourself a challenging environment. Our client, an IT department within a multi-campus healthcare system, was uneasy with the lack of a holistic network security solution, so we installed the B100 series of our CyberSafety CC/B1 Platform.
