Is your agency actually secure — or just compliant?

There's a big difference. And in the SLED space, that gap is where breaches happen.

Our latest blog breaks down what state, local, and education agencies actually need to know about cybersecurity right now:

✅ CMMC — why it matters even if you're not a DoD contractor
✅ NIST CSF 2.0 — what changed and why leadership needs to pay attention
✅ CISA directives — the ones your agency should be tracking
✅ How to go from framework to real security outcomes

Whether you're an IT director, a CISO, or a procurement officer evaluating vendors — this one's for you.

"Identity is the new perimeter." It's been a buzzword for years.

For California's public sector organizations? It's becoming an operational reality — and most aren't ready for it.

Active Directory is involved in 9 out of 10 significant cyberattacks. Yet most SLED organizations have never tested their AD recovery, have no visibility into identity threats, and have privileged access exposure they don't even know exists.

With the Super Bowl, FIFA World Cup, and Olympic Games coming to California, the window to close those gaps is now.

We partnered with Semperis to break down the five identity gaps we see most often — and what readiness actually looks like.

Manufacturing is now the #1 most targeted OT sector globally.

Not energy. Not pipelines. Manufacturing.

Most security vendors miss why, because their tools are built for IT environments, not plant floors.

We broke down the three risks that keep getting overlooked —IT/OT convergence gaps, third-party access exposure, and compliance drift—and what manufacturers can actually do about them.

An attacker gained access to a Microsoft 365 account at one of our medical device manufacturing clients.

They triggered an impossible-travel alert the moment they logged in. Abnormal Security flagged it. Arctic Wolf MDR flagged it. Both, independently, within seconds.

The account was locked. Sessions revoked. Persistence mechanism removed. Full blast radius assessed.

Resolution: under one hour.

We published the full case study today — what the attacker could have done, what stopped them, and what it revealed about MFA maturity that every org should pay attention to.

California is about to host the Super Bowl, the FIFA World Cup, and the Olympic Games.

For cyber threat actors? It's a planning opportunity.

Nation-state actors and ransomware groups don't sit out major global events — they plan for them. And California's public sector organizations, utilities, and municipalities are exactly the kind of targets they focus on when the world is watching.

We broke down what that means — and what organizations need to do about it — in our latest blog.

SLED organizations are the most under-resourced targets in critical infrastructure.

Minimal budgets. No dedicated OT staff. Aging infrastructure. And enormous public pressure to restore services fast — exactly what ransomware groups count on.

Part 3 of our OT Threat Series covers the sectors most overlooked in the security conversation: state, local, and education organizations and food & agriculture.

If you're a SLED technology leader in Southern California, we're also hosting a panel on April 22 built specifically for this conversation.

5,967 ransomware attacks globally in 2025.
75% tied to system intrusion — not phishing, not weak passwords.

Manufacturing, transportation, and healthcare are now the most actively targeted OT sectors — and the attack surface is only growing.

Part 2 of our 2026 OT Threat Series breaks down how IT/OT convergence, legacy infrastructure, and supply chain exposure are creating openings that attackers are already using.

82% of ICS advisories in 2025 were rated High or Critical.
26% had no patch. No mitigation. Nothing.

That's the current state of the systems controlling America's water, energy, and pipeline infrastructure.
We broke down what that means — the threat actors already inside U.S. infrastructure, the attack patterns, and where the real exposure sits — in Part 1 of our 2026 OT Threat Series.

If you work with or alongside critical infrastructure, this one's worth a read.
