From Threat to Response: How CIS MDR Protects SLTTs with Intelligence, Agility, and Action 2026
Tuesday, February 17, 2026 | 2:00 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 threat intelligence specific to U.S. SLTTs and our world-class 24x7x365 Center for Internet Security® (CIS®) Security Operations Center (SOC).
By attending this webinar, you'll learn:
- How CIS MDR provides accurate, context-rich protection and more holistic support 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
Don't miss this opportunity to 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.
