See how Unified DDI can help

Trusted by industry leaders

As government agencies move into the cloud, they often struggle with network outages and slowdowns caused by increasing complexity. Government networks also need protection from persistent threats, malware, and hackers.

With the help of BlueCat’s solutions, you can modernize your network to deliver core services—namely DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (together known as DDI)—that enhance resilience, bolster security, and ease the transition to the cloud.

A DDI solution for government services

For essential government services, like emergency communication, network downtime is unacceptable. With high availability and failover designed from the start, BlueCat is trusted by numerous state and local governments and educational institutions to help keep their networks and devices reliably running 24/7. BlueCat Integrity provides an industry-leading solution offering seamless failover to ensure your DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (IPAM) is resilient, minimizing downtime and ensuring operational continuity. Or, BlueCat Micetro offers a fast and flexible software overlay for DDI visibility and control.

Ransomware or other cyberattacks that target federal, state, or local governments can grind essential services to a halt. BlueCat’s security solutions utilize industry-leading threat feeds, policy-driven security rules to protect devices and networks at the DNS level, and advanced algorithms to detect threats like DNS tunneling or domain generation algorithms. BlueCat’s protective DNS solutions also integrate with your existing SIEM or SOAR solutions, giving your security teams the relevant data they need.

The ability to make rapid network changes is critical to driving innovation. BlueCat’s Unified DDI solutions integrate with the most common IT management and network automation tools, such as ServiceNow, Ansible, and Terraform. Via APIs and directly through network protocols, our network automation and integrations automate hundreds of thousands of changes each day, allowing you to scale faster.

And because we recognize that one size does not fit all, BlueCat solutions can also be customized to your specific automation needs with the help of our professional services team.

Governments entities frequently use a multi-vendor approach to secure their networks. But with multi-vendor solutions comes increased complexity for managing configuration drift and diagnosing the root causes of issues. BlueCat’s LiveAssurance helps you manage configuration drift across firewalls and load balancers, as well as observe the health and performance of your security and DNS environments.

LiveAssurance provides proactive alerts for issues that can cause performance problems and generates recommended remediation steps to fix them before they impact your networks.

Governments are moving to cloud-based solutions for improved scalability, flexibility, and reduced infrastructure costs. The risk of shadow IT makes it even more critical to maintain full visibility and control over what is happening on your hybrid and multicloud networks. BlueCat’s multicloud management solutions provide end-to-end visibility and optimization of cloud environments.

Governments trust BlueCat

Government agencies deploy BlueCat’s DNS management solutions on multiple classification levels and network architectures. As a result, government customers are empowered to do more with the infrastructure they already own. Whether managing mission-critical systems, safeguarding sensitive data, or ensuring uninterrupted access to digital services, BlueCat provides centralized control, proactive cybersecurity, and automated network management to keep agencies running efficiently.
