Secure Distributed & Shared Federal Sites
Many federal agencies operate shared offices, labs, and mission sites across universities, research facilities, and partner locations. Agencies often don’t own or control the underlying network infrastructure and local IT staff may not be trained or available to handle complex cybersecurity incidents. In addition, traditional monitoring solutions are too resource-intensive to deploy and maintain at every location, leading to security gaps across these distributed sites creating an attractive attack surface for adversaries targeting federal research and mission data.
Programs such as critical research, healthcare, and energy initiatives run on networks with limited visibility, minimal enforcement, and no dedicated cyber resources.
Get Visibility Without Ownership or Local Staff
Agencies often partner with multiple universities across the country. Labs are also jointly used by agency staff, faculty, and students. The networks are owned by the universities, with limited cybersecurity monitoring and no dedicated staff to triage anomalies. Here’s how Cynamics Federal helps agencies solve for this:
Rapid, agentless deployment
- Visibility enabled without changes to local infrastructure or university IT overhead
Centralized oversight
- Agency security teams gained real-time insight into network activity at every partner site
- Alerts and anomalies can be routed back to the agency SOC, not local staff
Adaptive monitoring
- Auto-generated monitoring rules can quickly identify unusual file transfers and outbound connections
- Immediate context can be provided for suspicious activity without requiring on-site troubleshooting
