Government networks are nation-state targets.
Act accordingly.
PacketViper delivers preemptive security for federal, state, and local government environments – IT, OT, and critical infrastructure – with inline enforcement that fires before orchestration can respond.
Adversaries are already inside most government networks. The question is whether you find them before they act.Nine months inside federal networks. Nobody knew.
The SolarWinds breach compromised 18,000 organizations including multiple federal agencies. The attackers were inside government networks for up to nine months before detection. The technique was sophisticated. The dwell time was catastrophic. By the time detection occurred, data had been exfiltrated and systems had been backdoored.
Government networks face the most sophisticated threat actors: nation-state APTs with long time horizons, significant resources, and specific strategic objectives. They’re not looking for quick ransomware payouts – they’re establishing persistent access, mapping systems, and preparing for operations that may not activate for months or years. Detection-only security is fundamentally inadequate against this threat model.
Nation-State Adversaries Don’t Rush
APTs have months of dwell time to work with. They will eventually find, map, and route around your detection layer. Static defenses are studied and defeated systematically.
Supply Chain Is the New Perimeter
SolarWinds demonstrated that the update mechanism itself is an attack vector. Any management interface accessible from the data plane is a liability.
Government OT Is Underprotected
Traffic systems, water infrastructure, federal facilities – government-operated critical infrastructure often has less security than private sector equivalents.
Make mapping impossible. Make persistence expensive.
PacketViper’s AMTD makes government networks significantly harder to operate within. Hundreds of sensors rotating continuously mean the attacker’s reconnaissance constantly produces bad data. The network they mapped yesterday looks different today.
AMTD for Government Networks
Continuous surface rotation denies the reconnaissance phase that enables every subsequent attack stage. Can’t map the network = can’t operate in it reliably.
No Supply Chain Attack Surface
No management API on the data plane. No cloud-connected update mechanism. Management plane is physically isolated. The SolarWinds vector doesn’t apply.
Government OT Coverage
Traffic systems, water, building automation, energy – passive, protocol-aware, autonomous RSU operation. No agents, no active scanning.
Federation for Distributed Infrastructure
Centralized management across different agencies, locations, and security classifications. Threat at one site immediately influences protection at all others.
Air-Gap Compatible
Classified environments and air-gapped systems operate without cloud connectivity. Enforcement is autonomous and local.
FISMA and NIST CSF Coverage
Continuous tamper-evident logging covers federal compliance requirements as standard output – not a separate compliance process.
The Mandiant Test
PacketViper has been validated against adversary simulation including Mandiant red team engagements in government-relevant scenarios. AMTD in production 10+ years. Patented approach. Not slideware – a deployed, proven capability.
The threat is current. The capability has to match.
🔵 For Security Teams
Nation-state APTs defeat detection-only security. AMTD denies the reconnaissance phase that enables everything that follows. Make the network too expensive to operate in.
🟠For OT Operators
Government-operated critical infrastructure gets OT-native security without operational disruption. No agents, no scanning, no changes to existing systems.
🟢 For Leadership
FISMA, CMMC, and executive orders on cybersecurity all point toward preemptive postures. PacketViper positions agencies ahead of the regulatory requirement.

PacketViper's inline enforcement, trust relationship modeling, and continuous traffic inspection align with CISA's Zero Trust Maturity Model pillars – particularly Network segmentation, traffic filtering, and continuous monitoring. It provides the enforcement layer that Zero Trust architectures require without the complexity of deploying separate enforcement tools.
Government agencies operating critical infrastructure – energy grids, water systems, transportation networks – face the same OT security challenges as private sector operators. PacketViper's OT-native inline enforcement, agentless deployment, and autonomous remote site protection provide a consistent security posture across all agency-operated infrastructure without requiring on-site security personnel.
