Cybersecurity for state and local governments End-to-end resilience for public sector systems
As government agencies rely more on connected systems and digital services, they also face greater cyber risk. Growing threats, along with changing compliance requirements, make strong, end to end IT security essential for maintaining reliable and uninterrupted operations.
The escalating cyber threat targeting today’s government organizations
Public sector environments support essential services and manage large volumes of sensitive citizen data, making them a frequent target. Defending these systems requires a resilient cybersecurity approach that provides clear visibility, real time threat detection, and fast recovery—helping agencies protect operations and maintain the trust of the communities they serve.

A new mandate: end to end cyber resilience
What stood out with Adlumin was how easy it was to implement and collect logs: on-prem, in the cloud and across desktops. We expected a challenge, but it was set up in 30 minutes.
The machine learning integration was another aspect we really liked about Adlumin. It's powerful because it can detect patterns much faster than a human could. That has been a huge time saver for us.
I can confidently say that MDR proved its value within the first six hours of deployment. We received alerts that our Police Department was being hit. MDR notified us immediately and we isolated that workstation before the intruders were able to get into our network.
Backups with Cove are much quicker than other products I’ve used. Cove has consistently delivered with successful bare-metal restores, which is the most important thing.

We acquired the Cove backup solution in conjunction with N‑central. We encountered a critical incident where all our virtual Domain Controllers went offline, rendering workstations inaccessible. Thanks to Cove Data Protection, we efficiently restored the server without a hitch, and within an hour, we were back in operation!

“It makes it a lot easier for me that I don’t have to run around and jump through hoops knowing that there is somebody monitoring 24/7, cause that phone call came at 3:30 in the morning and that particular workstation was being isolated.”

Meet CMMC 2.0 compliance with confidence, not compromise.
CMMC considerations for state and local organizations with federal contracts.
Why CMMC 2.0 matters
CMMC 2.0 is a mandatory cybersecurity framework for contractors and vendors in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB).
It requires strict technical controls, continuous monitoring, and audit-ready solutions. N‑able helps organizations meet these requirements without overburdening internal teams, empowering them to win and retain government contracts.
How N‑able supports CMMC 2.0
N‑able combines N‑central’s IT automation with Adlumin’s MDR/XDR capabilities to deliver:
- Unified compliance and security: Automate and help enforce relevant CMMC controls with centralized visibility and policy enforcement
- Continuous protection: Real-time monitoring, automated patching, and AI-powered threat detection reduce dwell time and risk
- Audit-ready confidence: Generate compliance reports, retain logs, and track incidents with minimal overhead
Without N‑central, achieving CMMC compliance would have been extremely difficult. Manual processes just aren’t credible to assessors.
Benefits for government contractors
- End-to-end visibility: Monitor endpoints, networks, cloud, and identity layers quickly and continuously
- Operational efficiency: Reduce manual effort with automation, scripting, and autonomous response workflows
- Zero CUI exposure: Adlumin’s analysts investigate threats using telemetry—keeping sensitive data under your control
