Local Governments Across the U.S. Turn to FireEye to Strengthen Cyber Defense - Seite 2

"Data integrity is of paramount importance to the city of New Orleans," said Freud Alexandre, enterprise architect and security manager, city of New Orleans. "A lot of security solutions vendors make outlandish statements but FireEye unconditionally delivers on everything it claims it can do."

Maricopa County, Arizona - Office of Enterprise Technology

With 3.8 million residents, Maricopa is the largest county in Arizona and the fourth-largest county in the nation. The Office of Enterprise Technology is charged with implementing, maintaining and securing enterprise productivity and support systems for more than 16,000 employees in 58 departments operating in elected, appointed and general government agencies. FireEye was brought in to identify and block zero-day Web exploits, binaries and multi-protocol callbacks, and to help scale Maricopa's advanced threat defenses across the county.

"Investing and partnering with the right company is critical in combating the continuous security threats that affect our businesses, citizens, and employees," said David L. Stevens, CIO, county of Maricopa. "This means that security services must be built into our ethos and culture and FireEye is committed to this principle and our success."

"We know cybercriminals use the web to deliver zero-day exploits and malicious URLs in email, but we can't turn off access to the Internet or email," said Michael C. Echols, CISO, county of Maricopa. "This technology helps us keep our employees and networks secure to stop the kind of drive-by downloads and blended web and email attacks that could easily bypass traditional AV solutions."

City of Miramar, Florida

The city of Miramar, located in southeast Florida, provides a range of services to its almost 130,000 residents within 30 square miles.

"In the past few years, a proliferation of high-profile breaches in digital security highlighted a new nature of present-day cyber risks, including advanced persistent threats," said Vlady Ryaboy, CISO, city of Miramar. "Conventional methods in cyber security are not sufficient in identifying and mitigating APT as they often appear in zero-day attacks. While no single technology solution alone can ensure digital assets are fully protected, FireEye has given organizations a fighting chance with real-time alerts when something does not look quite right. This kind of deep visibility into a network is one of several reasons why we made the investment in the FireEye platform."
