Case Study: Heard County achieves effortless patch management and enhanced threat protection with Heimdal Security

Heard County - Customer Case Study

Heard County, the local government in west‑central Georgia responsible for handling sensitive citizen and administrative data, faced persistent vulnerability risks from web plugins and third‑party applications and needed a user‑ and budget‑friendly way to both keep software patched and detect threats. After evaluating options, Heard County chose Heimdal Security, deploying Heimdal Patch & Asset Management (X‑Ploit Resilience automatic updater) together with Heimdal Threat Prevention (DarkLayer GUARD DNS security).

Heimdal Security implemented automatic third‑party patching and DNS‑layer threat filtering across the county’s endpoints; X‑Ploit Resilience automates updates so software stays current with minimal admin effort, and DarkLayer GUARD uncovers threats missed by antivirus and perimeter firewalls. The deployment yielded clear time savings and reduced manual patching work, faster remediation of vulnerabilities, and improved detection and prevention of web‑based threats for Heard County.
