Why cities & counties need better cybersecurity

Securing the backbone of our country begins with local governments. These organizations manage a broad spectrum of critical services that impact every aspect of citizen life — so they need cybersecurity solutions tailored to protect sensitive citizen data and ensure the security of state-operated infrastructures. And because we understand the need for compliance with stringent federal and state regulations, SonicWall offers adaptable solutions to meet these needs, while safeguarding against evolving cyber threats and maintaining public trust.

Targeted cybersecurity solutions for local governance

SonicWall offers specialized, cost-effective security solutions to meet the unique cybersecurity challenges faced by municipalities and county governments. By focusing on combating nuanced cyber threats and ensuring regulatory compliance within constrained budgets, we provide a robust defense tailored to the needs of local governance.

Compliance & interoperability that meets government standards

Our advanced solutions are designed to align with governmental certifications and interoperability requirements, such as FIPS 140-2, Common Criteria (CC), CSfC, USGv6 and NSA CNSA Cryptography Algorithms. This commitment ensures that municipalities and county governments are equipped to meet both federal and state regulatory standards, providing peace of mind in a complex regulatory environment.

Scalable security for government networks of all sizes

At the heart of our offering is massively scalable protection. From the smallest networks to the largest municipal operations, we deliver comprehensive content filtering and high-performance deep packet inspection coupled with real time deep memory inspection all without sacrificing performance. Best of all, our cloud-based sandboxing technology effectively prevents advanced threats in real time, offering an essential defense layer for local governments grappling with sophisticated cyberattacks.

Cybersecurity that enhances communication & collaboration

Communication plays a critical role in local governance. That’s why we ensure that wireless networks in municipalities and county governments are as secure as wired networks. This approach supports safe mobility, Zero Trust and BYOD initiatives, enhances operational continuity, and enriches the user experience by protecting against threats from malicious websites.

Control at your fingertips for more efficient network management

Centralized management is integral for an effective cybersecurity strategy. This approach allows local governments to confidently manage their network’s health, performance and security — all while reducing costs and increasing productivity with rapid deployment and centralized management. It also enables real-time monitoring of network trends and suspicious behavior, even with minimal in-house IT or through a managed service provider.
