Stop Cyber Breaches Before They Can Infect Your Networks

The public sector covers many segments including schools, emergency services, utilities, social services, administrative and tax departments. The interruption of any of these departments could result in a disaster for the public sector. Any loss of data could be used for criminal activity or inhibit emergency services from protecting the public. The cost of mitigation after a cyber breach for any public sector member could be in millions of dollars and public trust will be lost during the down time. Efforts to avoid such breaches should be a top priority for public sector members. Cyber insurance policies will be used against the public sector members and if a claim is accepted, the coverage will not be enough to cover both the financial and reputation loss for the entity.

The public sector needs to take the lead in protecting their respective communities and take a proactive approach to avoid cyber breaches in the first place. Using Red Sky Alliance’s RedXray service will meet the needs of small, medium and large public sector entities. The user can monitor any number of domains at the same time and will only have to spend time with the ones that have reported cyber threat activity. This means that the information security departments can research only situations that require attention, instead of having to review all entities every day for changes as only targeted cyber threat intelligence will be delivered by the service.

RedXray service offered by Red Sky Alliance is a cyber threat notification service with additional features. RedXray can inform a public sector user of cyber threats that have not yet breached the target’s network and avoid a loss of data, a ransomware attack or a denial-of-service situation. The daily cyber threat file can be loaded into any SIEM to block/blacklist these identified threats from returning. Public sector users can monitor many locations, departments or divisions from one dashboard and provide cyber threat coverage simultaneously. The additional feature of an on-demand cyber threat assessment/mitigation report allows users to be able to report cyber status to any number of officers/officials who need to be informed of a cyber threat summary.
