From Threat to Response: How CIS MDR Protects SLTTs with Intelligence, Agility, and Action
Tuesday, October 28, 2025 | 1:00 P.M. ET
U.S. State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial (SLTT) government organizations face unique cybersecurity challenges: limited staffing, decentralized IT environments, budget constraints, and an ever-evolving threat landscape. These realities often leave teams overwhelmed and under-resourced, making it difficult to detect, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents effectively.
CIS Managed Detection and Response™ (CIS MDR™) is purpose-built to address these issues, offering 24x7x365 endpoint protection powered by U.S. SLTT-specific threat intelligence and our world-class 24x7x365 CIS Security Operations Center (SOC).
In this webinar, we’ll explore how CIS MDR adapts to your environment, extends your team’s capabilities, and delivers actionable insights — not just alerts. You’ll also see a real anonymized incident walkthrough that demonstrates how CIS MDR moves from detection to resolution with speed and precision.
By attending this webinar, you’ll learn:
- How CIS MDR leverages U.S. SLTT-specific threat intelligence to deliver more accurate, context-rich protection than generic MDR solutions
- How CIS MDR adapts to decentralized environments and limited staffing, providing scalable, affordable defense without added complexity
- How CIS MDR rapidly detects, contains, and resolves threats, minimizing impact and downtime
