Case Study: Jerusalem Municipality strengthens security and gains visibility with XM Cyber

XM Cyber Helps Jerusalem Municipality Strengthen Security and Gain Visibility

Jerusalem Municipality, the largest municipality in Israel serving nearly 1 million residents, needed to build a formal security program in a complex, decades-old environment with no dedicated security team or defined policies. As its network grew through layers of legacy systems, cloud integrations, and internal connections, the municipality lacked the visibility needed to identify exposure and attacker paths, making manual testing and siloed scans insufficient. XM Cyber was brought in to help provide a clear, real-time view of the environment.

XM Cyber was deployed quickly and used to map risks, expose gaps, and create a prioritized remediation plan built around short, two- to three-week missions. The municipality resolved issues such as Active Directory configuration gaps, saw measurable improvements in security scores after each change, and gained dashboards that helped communicate progress to leadership. XM Cyber’s ongoing guidance and reporting also helped the small security team maintain momentum and strengthen the municipality’s security posture over time.
