Whole-of-state cybersecurity
Complete security for state and local government and education.
The problem
State and local government and education need a consistent cyber defense
State and local government and education need a consistent cyber defense
Attack sophistication
State and local governments need to be prepared to combat cyber threats like ransomware targeting sensitive information kept at the local level.
Staffing challenges
All levels of government face challenges hiring, training, and retaining staff that are capable of responding to the complex threats targeting them.
Budget constraints
Local governments especially often face budget limitations and must allocate resources across multiple initiatives.
The solution
Why adopt a whole-of-state cybersecurity approach
Why adopt a whole-of-state cybersecurity approach
Collaboration and information sharing
Cybersecurity leaders can share threat intelligence, best practices, and lessons learned. This collaborative environment enables rapid response to cyber incidents and offers enhanced coordination around the identification and mitigation of emerging threats.
Budget and resource optimization
By consolidating security efforts, leveraging shared resources, and avoiding redundant solutions, governments can achieve cost savings. Centralized management and standardized security measures also streamline security operations, reducing administrative overhead and optimizing resource allocation.
Streamlined compliance and governance
By implementing consistent security controls and mechanisms, state entities can ensure compliance with relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards. A whole-of-state approach facilitates audits, reporting, and regulatory assessments, reducing the compliance burden on individual entities.

Funding and grants
Many states are leveraging federal funding through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP). CrowdStrike can help navigate through this process.
Protection across your state
CrowdStrike partners with each state to build a whole-of-state strategy that is right for them. We are by your side on the design, implementation, and validation to ensure each entity is secure and protected.
Consolidation with autonomy
Local governments are proud of their autonomy and home-ruled status, and most want to maintain authority. CrowdStrike’s solutions can provide this independence but still provide a holistic view of the security posture and threats across the state.
