Cyber-Resilient Storage for State & Local Government

State and local government agencies are among the most targeted organizations for ransomware. BrickStor SP protects citizen data, government records, and public safety systems with real-time active defense and immutable protection.

Why government agencies are prime targets

Ransomware groups specifically target state and local governments because they hold high-value data and often lack the cybersecurity resources of large enterprises. Attacks have shut down 911 centers, halted court systems, disrupted tax collection, and compromised millions of citizen records.

State and local governments are among the most frequently targeted organizations for ransomware
Attacks on municipalities have disrupted 911 dispatch, permitting systems, tax collection, and court operations
Citizen PII, court records, property records, and public safety data are high-value targets
Many agencies operate with limited IT staff and legacy infrastructure that expands the attack surface
Recovery from unprotected attacks has cost some municipalities millions in ransom and remediation
In State & Local Specifically

How the pillars translate to government operations

Public records that survive a breach

Official records, court filings, election artifacts, and 911 incident logs sit on immutable storage that no compromised privileged admin can delete or overwrite. The retention obligation in the state code maps to a setting in the platform, not a backup-vendor SLA.

911, court, and permitting stay online

When a city is hit, the operational question is whether dispatch can answer calls in 90 minutes. BrickStor SP's surgical recovery restores only the files touched by the attack — public-safety, judicial, and constituent-service systems come back on the timeline citizens expect.

GSA, SEWP, and Carahsoft procurement

Available through GSA Schedule, NASA SEWP V, and the Carahsoft state and local programs — so the platform that meets your CJIS, IRS Pub 1075, and StateRAMP requirements also fits the contract vehicles your purchasing office already uses.

Small-team operations, enterprise-grade controls

County and municipal IT teams rarely have a dedicated SOC. Hub Central, hardened defaults, and a Jumpstart program designed for limited staff mean a 4-person team can operate the same controls a federal agency runs, without a separate security tooling stack.
