Bringing enterprise-level cybersecurity solutions to the public sector

Cybercriminals are attacking and disrupting school districts, public agencies, and municipalities at an unprecedented rate. It’s not a matter of if or when a ransomware attack will occur, but will your organization be prepared to respond effectively, so that any damage to operations and the communities we serve is limited.

At MGT, we believe state and local governments and public education systems have been underserved in cybersecurity for many years. It is extremely challenging to navigate the evolving cybersecurity landscape and deploy comprehensive cyber protocols and safeguards to secure a government agency, school system, transportation agency, or municipality from cyberattacks and ransomware.

Our goal at MGT is to bring world-class, enterprise-level cybersecurity solutions to these underserved, vulnerable organizations and communities. Because education and government agencies serve and impact the lives of so many people daily, they require the best solutions we as cybersecurity providers have to offer. We want to bring the best of the best of high-quality, enterprise-level experience to the state and local government and education (SLED) market. These solutions include:

• Mission-critical 24x7x365 Managed Detection Response (MDR-Security Operations Center) in highly complex education and state and local government environments

How does MGT Technology’s MDR Work

1. Comprehensive, Diagnostic Risk Assessment – Complete evaluation of all networks, data points, devices, users, and third-party vendors on the ground and in the cloud. Check for vulnerabilities against an accepted risk and security maturity plan to establish a baseline for measuring progress and performance.

2. Risk and Maturity Planning – We establish a risk and security maturity plan that aligns with your organization’s business objectives, risk tolerance, and operational, compliance, and cultural requirements. The plan is based on best practices and guidelines of the Center for Internet Security (CIS) and NIST Cybersecurity Framework.

3. Strategic Roadmap – MGT works with public agencies to develop and execute a strategic roadmap to improve and harden cybersecurity against cyber threats and attacks based on findings and risk priorities. This includes C-suite executive and board-level briefings to assist with funding requests or needs.

4. Monitoring & Oversight – MGT will oversee and monitor the execution of strategies, tactics, and priorities.

5. KPIs & Executive Visibility – MGT helps agencies establish meaningful, relevant KPIs for tracking and reporting performance and progress status with their internal IT and security teams, C-suite decision makers, and stakeholders.
