The Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation Protects Tribal and Governmental Information with Extensive The Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation members, half of whom live on tribal land in North Carolina near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The tribal government provides services there, ranging from health and medical, utilities and sanitation to police, fire, tax collection and a complete judicial system. According to IT Security Administrator, Sean Grady, there's an enormous amount of sensitive information to protect.
"Since our network supports such a wide range of activities, we're responsible for securing high-value information dating from today to 200 years", he says. "We have to deal with morning, hackers from China, India, France and Canada were trying to get in, so we have to be certain we don't leave any openings. When we decided to do penetration testing, we turned to Wirehead Security's Mike Menefee, and got results even better than we expected."
