State, Local, & Education
The state, local, and education (SLED) market is vast and complex — state agencies, counties and cities, special districts such as water and utility districts, K-12 school systems, and universities, each with varied regional and community-specific needs. Every public institution faces the same imperatives: securely digitizing services and citizen data access, defending against ransomware and nation-state threats with limited budgets, and preparing today’s systems for tomorrow’s post-quantum world.
Zenix Technology brings dedicated public-sector security practice to this landscape: CJIS, HIPAA, and IRS 1075 data-handling compliance; SIMM- and NIST-aligned assessments; ransomware readiness and incident response for county and municipal systems; OT and SCADA security for water and utility districts; and grant-funded program design under the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (SLCGP). We understand procurement, budget cycles, and board reporting — because California government is not a side market for us. It is who we serve.
