California's public agencies, school districts, and municipalities face escalating threats — and federal compliance mandates that can't be ignored. Tec-Refresh helps SLED organizations get prepared before the world arrives.

Nation-state actors and ransomware groups increasingly target public-sector organizations — not despite limited resources, but because of them. Volt Typhoon and other advanced threat groups have already established persistence inside U.S. critical infrastructure.
Municipal governments and school districts remain top ransomware targets due to sensitive citizen data, legacy infrastructure, and operational dependencies on continuous service.
CISA has confirmed Volt Typhoon pre-positioned within U.S. critical infrastructure. State and local agencies running utilities and emergency services are directly in scope.
Active Directory is the backbone of most public-sector environments — and the primary attack path. Compromise of AD means compromise of everything connected to it.
Super Bowl LX, FIFA World Cup 2026, and LA 2028 bring unprecedented attention to California — and coordinated threat actor activity targeting public infrastructure.
Federal compliance frameworks are no longer optional for public-sector organizations. CMMC 2.0 and CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities directives create real obligations — and real liability for organizations that aren’t prepared.
CMMC 2.0 applies to any organization handling Controlled Unclassified Information — including state agencies, local governments, and educational institutions with federal contracts or grants.
CISA’s Binding Operational Directives mandate federal agencies remediate known exploited vulnerabilities within strict timelines. State and local agencies are strongly encouraged — and in many states required — to comply.
The Preparedness & Identity Resilience Assessment is a structured evaluation of your organization’s readiness for identity-based attacks and operational disruption. Delivered by Tec-Refresh, with Semperis supporting identity infrastructure components.
Assessment spots are limited. Tec-Refresh is working with Southern California SLED organizations through Q2 and Q3 2026.
