Case Study: Mississippi Secretary of State achieves end-to-end advanced threat protection and ransomware prevention with Check Point Software (SandBlast)

Mississippi Secretary of State Gains End to End Advanced Threat Protection for Its Data

The Mississippi Secretary of State, which delivers services across eight divisions, needed stronger, broader protection against modern cyber threats—especially ransomware, zero‑day attacks, bots and phishing—while simplifying management and improving visibility with a single solution that covered both network and endpoints.

They deployed Check Point SandBlast Zero‑Day Protection and SandBlast Agent, using Threat Emulation, Threat Extraction and endpoint forensics to stop exploits before they executed. Within two days the solution detected and blocked ransomware on multiple endpoints, quarantined affected machines, stopped bot activity, automated incident handling, and delivered detailed forensics—reducing IT effort, lowering costs and giving the team far greater confidence in their security.
