Challenges
Public Sector IT Faces Mounting Cybersecurity Risks and Threats
Maintaining Operational Continuity
-
Local governments manage vital public services — from administration and education to utilities and citizen records.
-
Ransomware attacks can paralyze entire departments, halting access to essential systems.
-
Heimdal stops ransomware and malware at multiple layers — including DNS, endpoint, and email — to keep services running.
Safeguarding Citizen and Administrative Data
-
Councils and government departments handle sensitive citizen records, financial data, and personal identifiers.
-
Data protection regulations such as GDPR, ISO 27001, and NIS2 require continuous monitoring and documented controls.
-
Heimdal provides automated patching, privilege control, and detailed audit logs to support compliance and accountability.
Achieving Security with Efficiency
-
Many public sector organizations lack dedicated cybersecurity staff or 24/7 monitoring.
-
Multiple point solutions are costly and difficult to manage with small teams.
-
Heimdal unifies endpoint, email, and network security into a single, easy-to-manage platform — reducing administrative overhead.

Unified Cybersecurity Platform for Local Government and Public Sector Institutions
Heimdal’s unified XDR platform provides comprehensive cybersecurity for local governments, municipalities, and public sector agencies. It enables IT and security leaders to safeguard citizen data, maintain compliance with public administration frameworks, and ensure service continuity. Combining DNS Security, Next-Gen Antivirus with Extended Threat Protection (XTP), Privileged Access Management, Email Security, Ransomware Encryption Protection, and automated Patch & Asset Management, Heimdal delivers an integrated defense against evolving threats targeting government systems.
Simplified Security and Infrastructure Management
Heimdal XDR consolidates multiple security tools into a single AI-driven platform, simplifying protection across public networks, endpoints, and administrative systems. It reduces tool sprawl and manual configuration while delivering real-time threat detection, automated response, and proactive prevention. Local governments gain unified visibility over their IT infrastructure, ensuring that municipal operations and citizen services remain protected from ransomware, phishing, and unauthorized access.
Regulatory Compliance and Public Accountability
Compliance is critical in public administration, where agencies must meet GDPR, NIS2, and Cyber Essentials requirements. Heimdal’s built-in compliance framework includes automated reporting, detailed audit trails, and continuous monitoring to ensure data governance and transparency. Its Privileged Access and Application Control modules enforce least-privilege policies and secure sensitive systems, supporting the accountability standards required by government audits and information assurance programs.
Operational Continuity and Public Service Resilience
Heimdal ensures the uninterrupted operation of essential public services by combining automated patch management, zero-trust enforcement, and ransomware containment. Patches are deployed silently across distributed municipal environments within hours, reducing vulnerabilities and downtime. With real-time containment and AI-powered threat detection, Heimdal helps local governments preserve uptime and maintain uninterrupted access to digital and citizen-facing services.
Unified Visibility and Government Threat Intelligence
The Heimdal Threat-Hunting & Action Center (TAC) provides centralized visibility across departments, networks, and endpoints. Security analysts can correlate data, detect suspicious activity, and mitigate risks through unified dashboards. Heimdal’s SIEM-driven analytics and real-time alerts strengthen situational awareness and help public sector teams identify and respond to attacks before they escalate, ensuring the integrity of public data and digital services.
