Digital and Physical Attack Surface Management for Government

Kanary delivers human attack surface management to protect people and the organizations they represent. For federal, state, and local government agencies, every publicly visible employee, elected official, contractor, and law enforcement officer carries a personal digital footprint that adversaries can find, aggregate, and weaponize. Kanary gives public sector security teams the visibility and mitigation tools they need to prevent, mitigate, disrupt and recover from digital and physical attacks.

Kanary's platform draws on tens of thousands of data sources, including search engines, people-search sites, data brokers, social media platforms and LLMs, to continuously identify where personnel are exposed online. Kanary's threat model prioritizes the exposures most likely to escalate into real harm, such as doxxing, impersonation, swatting, social engineering, and physical threats against staff, their families and colleagues, and the organizations they are associated with. This targeted approach serves agencies protecting judges, law enforcement personnel, elected officials, and other high-visibility public servants whose home addresses, family details, and daily routines could otherwise emerge from open sources.

Kanary's platform covers the full lifecycle of a human-centered threat. It maps each individual's risk profile, finds active exposures, mitigates and removes sensitive data, and hardens account and privacy settings. If a threat escalates into an active incident, Kanary's team provides structured response support and escalation guidance. Agencies can monitor progress in real time through a web dashboard and mobile app, set scan frequency based on role and risk level, and receive regular reports that support compliance and oversight requirements.

Founded in 2020 by election security researchers and data scientists, Kanary built its threat model around lessons learned protecting political campaigns from targeted attacks. Today, more than 200 organizations across the public and private sectors trust Kanary to protect the people who matter most to their missions.

A U.S.-based team builds and operates Kanary end-to-end. The company doesn't rely on third parties to handle member data and doesn't share information with AI or LLM providers, which matters for government customers with strict data handling requirements. Kanary maintains NIST CSF 2.0 compliance and SOC 2 compliance, integrates with SSO providers including Okta, Google, and Entra ID, and offers enterprise administration features such as bulk onboarding, CSV reporting, and admin-managed accounts for large or distributed workforces.
