Cybersecurity Essentials Package

Request a Quote

KLC Insurance provides a $1 million Cybersecurity Preparedness Grant and Cybersecurity Essentials Package to help Kentucky municipalities protect against a cyberattack. Basic requirements include:

• Discovery to identify what is missing.
• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for access to email, remote access to computers and servers, and access to administrative accounts.
• Data backup and disaster recovery that require two backup copies stored in different offsite locations.
• Advanced threat protection add-on if using Office 365, or the equivalent if using another email software.
• Endpoint detection and response (EDR) focuses on a single “endpoint device” such as a server or computer. EDR looks for threats that may have infiltrated a municipality’s device by watching for suspicious activity.
