VC3 logoDo the following questions keep you up at night or constantly nag at you during the day?
  • Deep down, do I believe my municipality is prepared for a cyberattack?
  • Why does it take days or weeks to resolve IT issues?

IT in a Box

From backing up and securing your data to modernizing your website, it’s tough for municipalities to invest in the right technology and hire the best professional expertise to guide them along. To address these needs cost-effectively without taking any shortcuts, VC3 helped create a packaged technology service called IT in a Box.

  • End User Assess: Provides simulated phishing tests and security awareness training to help keep employees sharp, skilled, and smart to counter cyberattackers.
  • Email Protect: Encrypts your email, scans it for malware, and stops most phishing and spam attempts from ever reaching your employees.
  • Web Protect: Proactively blocks users from accessing websites that may cause harm to your municipality.
  • Dark Web Detect: Scans the dark web to uncover compromised credentials shared or sold by criminals, giving you information you need to act.

Security Awareness Training

90% of all successful cyberattacks start in email.

To keep your employees trained and ready to resist a cyberattacker’s tricks, GMA’s Security Awareness Training service—Cyber Aware, powered by VC3—provides:

  • Monthly online video training where employees learn about the latest phishing and social engineering attacks.
  • Monthly phishing simulations that test what employees have learned in the videos and strengthen your employees’ ability to spot phishing attempts. They will receive fake but realistic-looking phishing emails to help them more quickly identify common phishing attacks and social engineering tricks.
  • Dashboards and reporting to note training progress, identify employees who click on phishing emails, and track metrics for compliance purposes.
