State Government Network Security Overhaul
The Challenge
A state government network needed comprehensive security modernization to defend critical infrastructure. The existing IPS platform was aging, no dedicated Network Protection Team existed to handle escalating threats, and DDoS attacks against public-facing services were increasing in both frequency and sophistication.
Our Approach
Deployed and managed Palo Alto Next-Generation Firewalls with full Threat Prevention, App-ID, URL Filtering, and WildFire sandboxing across the enterprise. Operationalized a new Network Protection Team from the ground up, building out processes, escalation paths, and monitoring workflows. Developed custom Splunk queries for real-time security event correlation and configured DoS protection profiles to defend against volumetric and application-layer attacks.
