Cyber Risk Remediation Techniques for School and Government

Project Broken Mirror

Our founder recognized the challenges faced by state and local governments in funding and staffing network security. To better assist organizations, it’s crucial to first understand the current state of security. Mirrored Defense conducted a nationwide scan of county government websites, known as Project Broken Mirror, to provide a nearly real-time assessment of security status and vulnerabilities.

The results were as anticipated, showing a wide range of security integrity and vulnerabilities. It became clear that these organizations require a new and effective method to evaluate and address their attack surface area.
