Public Sector Security Program
Early Warning for Cyber Safety
Federal, state, and local government agencies face relentless cyber attacks on their critical infrastructure through security breaches and ransomware attacks. They are the favorite targets of Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) groups sponsored by hostile nations.
SolarWinds, Colonial Pipeline, JBS Meat Packers, and the myriad other ransomware attacks on utility companies and health care services have amply spotlighted the need for cyber hygiene.
With CSW’s continual vulnerability management and penetration testing services, we can improve the cybersecurity of state, local, educational and governmental agencies and help them gain resilience against continuously evolving threats.

Cybersecurity Is No Longer An Option. It Is A Necessity!
During a recent cybersecurity summit at the White House, President Joe Biden described cybersecurity as a "core national security challenge" citing recent high-profile attacks on US businesses that have disrupted life for everyday Americans.
