MANAGED SECURITY SERVICES

Security management solution that keeps your data and customers protected.

Prioritize Security, Privacy, and Compliance

With so many companies moving to the cloud and doing remote work, now is the time to make sure that your data, customer information, and employee information is secure. With cybercrime on the rise and so many new endpoints, you need to make sure that your network is secure.

Utilities Managed Security Services

As municipalities modernize and digitize their infrastructure and services, the shift to “smart” technologies allows utilities to streamline operations, improve customer relationships, and offer innovative services. With this new age comes the risk of cyberattacks for every municipality, no matter the size.  So, each new digital challenge means you need to prioritize security, privacy, and compliance. Failure to do so will eventually result in:

With technology ever-evolving and with constant cyber threats, now is the time to find a security management solution that keeps your data and your utility customers protected. That’s why NorthStar has partnered with Field Effect to create our Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Security Service.

Cybercrime Is Big Business

Don’t think someone can access your municipal utility customer information system? Today, that’s not the case. Cybercrime is a lucrative business worth trillions of dollars. And cybercriminals are looking for vulnerabilities in your system. When they get in, personal information, like credit card, bank, and social security numbers, is what they’ll go after, putting your customers and employees at risk.  That means -- the time to think about security services for your municipal utility is not when a breach happens but before. Because until you address it, your information is not safe.

Why You Need Managed Security Services for Your Municipal Utility

Your municipality cannot risk a successful cyberattack, and depending on the security tools you’re currently using, you still may be at risk. You may think that the malware software and firewall you have is enough to protect you from threats. You could have even layered on other security solutions, but the alert fatigue and administrative overhead are just too much for your team. But with recent changes to your network, you need someone on your side to help you keep the criminals out.
