MixMode has announced that it has entered into a partnership with the city of Dallas, Texas to bolster its critical infrastructure cybersecurity defenses.

“Cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure are becoming more sophisticated and common, especially with the increase in AI-driven attacks,” said Dr Brian Gardner, Chief Technology & Information Security Officer, City of Dallas.

“Adopting a next-generation threat detection platform is crucial to our ability to strengthen protections of the city’s network and systems.

“The MixMode platform equips our Technology Services’ Security Operations Center with a comprehensive solution to rapidly identify and respond to cyber-incidents, including ransomware and never-before-seen attacks.”

MixMode, together with technology service provider Netsync, is delivering a solution and services to aid in the protection of the city’s network.

The MixMode platform is a cybersecurity solution built on Third Wave AI for real-time threat detection and response at scale and could prove crucial to the city’s ability to defend against advanced cyber-attacks, the company reports.

MixMode’s AI platform offers real-time threat monitoring, anomaly detection and behavioral analysis, allowing Dallas to respond quickly to potential cyber-incidents before they escalate into a major security breach.

Securing critical infrastructure

“We are looking forward to partnering with the city of Dallas to aid in the security of their infrastructure,” said Ethan Caldwell, MixMode Head of Business Development.

“MixMode’s advanced AI platform was designed to evolve with emerging threats to stay ahead of attackers and will empower Dallas’ security teams in the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape to detect the most adversarial activity.

“Cities are very aware that they are being targeted with increasingly sophisticated attacks from well-resourced cyber-criminals and we are pleased to partner with one of the nation’s leading security leaders, Dr Gardner, to bring in MixMode as a centerpiece to the city of Dallas’ efforts to modernize its cybersecurity defenses.”
