Public Sector & SLED

Cybersecurity, network modernization, risk management, and security architecture for state and local government, public agencies, and education organizations.

Security and infrastructure built for mission-driven environments

Public-sector and SLED organizations have to modernize aging infrastructure, protect sensitive information, maintain service availability, and meet security requirements while operating within procurement, budget, staffing, and governance constraints.

VALO brings hands-on experience from large government and regulated environments, including county government, state health services, and Department of Defense healthcare infrastructure. We combine network engineering, security architecture, governance, risk management, and implementation support so technical improvements are tied to operational and security objectives.

Network Modernization & Migration

LAN/WAN modernization, Cisco switching and routing, equipment refreshes, network migrations, Cisco ACI, SD-WAN, high availability, and controlled cutovers with post-migration validation.

Segmentation & Access Control

Network segmentation and micro-segmentation, VLAN design, ACL design and optimization, least-privilege access controls, firewall policy review, and secure connectivity between systems and services.

Cybersecurity Architecture

Secure-by-design architecture, Zero Trust principles, firewall and remote-access security, DNS-layer security, identity-aware controls, cloud connectivity, logging, monitoring, and technical security reviews.

Risk, GRC & Assessments

Cybersecurity risk assessments, control-gap analysis, NIST-aligned security reviews, risk registers, remediation planning, policy and standards support, audit readiness, and governance reporting.

Vulnerability & Incident Readiness

Vulnerability remediation, secure configuration reviews, incident-response readiness, root-cause analysis, security logging, control validation, and prioritized corrective-action planning.

Microsoft Security

Microsoft 365 and Entra security posture reviews, MFA, Conditional Access, Defender, Intune, identity and access security, data protection, and security-governance improvements.

Infrastructure capabilities

From core networking to security controls.

VALO can support focused technical projects, modernization initiatives, assessments, remediation programs, and security architecture work.

Routing & Switching

Cisco switching and routing, BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, core/distribution/access upgrades, network resiliency, and configuration standardization.

Core Network Services

DNS, DHCP, IPAM, secure name resolution, addressing, infrastructure dependencies, ISP/carrier coordination, fiber and circuit planning.

Security Engineering

Palo Alto security controls, segmentation, ACLs, VPN, remote access, Cisco ISE/NAC, DNS security, vulnerability remediation, and security monitoring.

Governance & Assurance

NIST CSF and NIST 800-53-aligned assessments, control reviews, risk remediation, evidence and audit support, security policies, and executive reporting.

Project-based delivery for SLED organizations

Engagements can be scoped around a specific modernization effort, assessment, remediation backlog, network migration, security architecture initiative, or ongoing advisory need. VALO can work directly with internal technology teams and can participate in partner or subcontractor delivery models when the project structure requires it.

For education organizations, VALO's focus is on the same core capabilities we deliver elsewhere: enterprise networking, cybersecurity architecture, access control, risk assessment, Microsoft security, vulnerability remediation, and governance. We do not position unrelated capabilities simply to broaden the service catalog.
