Five Winning Cybersecurity Strategies for State, Local and Education Organizations
State, local, and education (SLED) organizations are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals due to their expanding digital footprints, complex IT environments, and resource constraints. This ebook provides a high-level overview to help SLED entities strengthen their cybersecurity defenses. Drawing from recent high-profile cyberattacks, it offers actionable insights and practical strategies to manage IT complexity, protect sensitive data, and optimize limited resources.
Download to learn more about:
- Understanding Data Security Posture: Implement data security posture management (DSPM) to classify, encrypt, and monitor sensitive data, ensuring comprehensive protection across all environments.
- Addressing Limited Resources: Optimize the use of limited resources by leveraging automation, AI, and collaborative security operations to manage skill shortages and budget constraints effectively.
- Preventing Lateral Movement:Adopt zero trust network architecture with robust network segmentation and multifactor authentication to stop attackers from moving laterally within networks.
- Fostering Collaboration: Encourage shared security systems and regional security operations centers to enhance threat detection and incident response through collective expertise and resources.
By leveraging these strategies, SLED organizations can improve their cybersecurity resilience, safeguard critical information, and maintain the integrity of their operations.
