The Beginning


Limited visibility into the city's attack surface

It's not easy defending an entire city. With a population of nearly 1.4 million, the City of Dallas oversees the community's infrastructure, which includes police stations, firehouses, libraries, smart parks, and public WIFI, just to name a few. With so many IP addresses, it can be difficult to keep track of everything. ExtraHop provides the City of Dallas with valuable insight into network traffic to keep every user safe from malicious attacks.

The Transformation


 

Secure Decryption

ExtraHop Reveal(x) allows the City of Dallas to detect and hunt threats in day-to-day activity. When there is a known malicious IP address, or unauthorized access to unencrypted files, they're able to pinpoint the exact location and track unauthorized users and IP addresses.


 

IOT

The City of Dallas Security Operations Center (SOC) team monitors all activity for their security and IT infrastructure. ExtraHop gives them complete network visibility across protected access into the systems that the city maintains, including on-premise and cloud environments.

The Outcome


Complete visibility for day-to-day threat detection

With such a massive network, it can be challenging to keep eyes on everything. Bad actors are constantly searching for new vulnerabilities and weaknesses. ExtraHop gives the City of Dallas the tools to detect and investigate advanced threats with visibility into lateral movement. Major threats like ransomware and supply chain compromises have nowhere to hide.
