FAIRFAX COUNTY VIRGINIA information and event management( SIEM) capabilities to gain greater visibility across its IT infrastructure. Splunk has supported by aggregating and analysing large volumes of data from various sources, which has helped Fairfax to detect suspicious activities and potential security incidents in real time.
“ The advanced analytics and customisable dashboards allow us to quickly identify patterns and take proactive measures to mitigate risks,” Michael says.“ This level of visibility not only enhances our security operations, but also supports compliance with regulatory requirements – ultimately strengthening our overall security posture.”
Another powerful partner for the county is Lookout, which offers support for mobile security. Charles Gore, who assumed the role of CISO in August 2025, explains that in a government environment, all staff need secure access to sensitive data across multiple locations and devices.
“ This is a critical component of our security strategy,” he notes.“ Our collaboration with Lookout as a mobile security partner has been pivotal in addressing this challenge. Lookout provides comprehensive mobile threat defence, safeguarding our devices from a wide range of threats including malware, phishing and network attacks.”
