State and Local Government
Brief
A Behavior-based Approach for Ransomware
With over 100 incidents reported in 2019 alone, ransomware attacks targeting state and local governments are growing increasingly frequent. Tight budgets and staffing shortages at government agencies can often translate to legacy security systems and fewer backups, positioning them in hackers’ minds as easy targets. Hackers also seek notoriety from outsized media coverage of government attacks for free “publicity” for their software and services.
With public safety, money and trust on the line, state and local governments require a solution that allows security teams to quickly and accurately detect, investigate and respond to ransomware threats. With Exabeam, agencies can keep critical systems up and running and protect citizens’ valuable personal data. Exabeam enables security teams to improve threat detection and achieve faster investigation and response times with user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) and security orchestration and automation (SOAR).
