Akamai Enterprise Threat Protector for State and Local Government

The headlines are hard to miss—state and local governments are being attacked, systems taken down, and often held for ransom. Government organizations of all sizes face damages from hacktivism and ransomware. There are increasing threats from zero-day malware1, ransomware, phishing attacks, data exfiltration, and command and control servers. Surveys show that many government organizations experience attacks daily, and that many government IT departments struggle to keep up.2 As government organizations increase their use of software-as-a-service applications, direct internet access, mobile computing and the Internet of Things, these threats will only continue to rise.
