    State and Local Government Cybersecurity

    Overview

    Government cybersecurity matters more than ever

    Citizen data has become a black-market goldmine for cybercriminals. A single attack can compromise your service delivery, reputation, and data compliance in an instant. Mimecast has helped more than 850 public sector organizations stay one step ahead of the threat with our simple, yet comprehensive, end-to-end email security solution.

    Solutions

    Built-in regulatory compliance for state and local government

    CJIS

    The FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy is both stringent and necessary. Mimecast’s entire public sector team is cleared to access criminal justice information, and our email security complies with all key CJIS policy areas.

    StateRAMP

    StateRAMP defines a robust set of criteria to ensure state and local government cloud security — and is fast becoming the new standard. Start on the right foot by working with a StateRAMP-accredited security provider like Mimecast.

    DMARC

    Domain-based Message Authentication Reporting and Conformance, or DMARC, is the new standard email authentication protocol that protects your agency from impersonation attacks. It’s highly effective, especially when used as part of a multilayer defense strategy.
