Protecting Georgia's Critical Infrastructure

The Cyber Resiliency Center is designed to serve organizations that are vital to Georgia's economy, health, and public safety, yet are often the most vulnerable to cyberattacks.

Rural and Community Hospitals

Healthcare facilities are increasingly targeted by ransomware and data breaches, directly impacting patient care and safety. We prioritize hospitals facing limited budgets and staffing constraints to ensure they maintain resilient and continuous healthcare delivery.

Local Governments and Municipalities

City and county systems manage essential public services, emergency response, and sensitive citizen data. The CRC helps local governments harden their infrastructure against operational disruptions and establish strong recovery plans, regardless of geographic barriers.

Public School Districts

K-12 school districts hold massive amounts of sensitive student data and rely on connected systems for daily education. The CRC provides the cost-effective assessments and guidance necessary to keep educational environments secure and operational.

Small- to Medium-Sized Manufacturing

Supply chain attacks can devastate local economies and national production. The CRC works with SMB manufacturers to protect operational technology (OT) and IT environments, ensuring continuity in the face of targeted industrial cyber threats.
