C1 Awarded Three-Year Statewide Contract to Deliver Digital Security Solutions for Florida Agencies

C1 has secured a significant foothold in Florida’s public sector cybersecurity landscape by winning a three-year, state-wide contract from the Florida Department of Management Services. This agreement streamlines how state and local agencies can acquire, deploy, and manage digital security solutions, making it easier for agencies of all sizes to strengthen their defenses without having to navigate a complex procurement process. The deal not only reinforces C1’s credibility in the public sector but also highlights the growing importance states place on robust cybersecurity infrastructure.

Under this framework, agencies will gain access to a wide range of solutions from top-tier partners including Arctic Wolf, Axonius, Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Splunk, Tenable, Varonis, and Zscaler. The flexibility of the contract means each agency can tailor its approach—choosing the right combination of endpoint protection, identity management, threat detection, network security, and cloud access controls to meet their particular needs. C1 supplements these technology offerings with advisory services, professional consulting, and managed services, ensuring agencies don’t just procure solutions but also receive expert guidance to maximize their effectiveness.

Greg Miles, Executive Vice President for C1’s Public Sector business, emphasized that the contract reflects trust and confidence from the State of Florida in C1’s ability to safeguard sensitive data and operational continuity. The company’s involvement promises to enhance the cyber resilience of Florida’s agencies at a time when public institutions are facing a surge in ransomware, data breaches, and nation-state threats. For C1, this award bolsters its position as a go-to partner for government digital security, while for Florida’s agencies, it lowers barriers to adoption of best-in-class tools.

Agencies can begin engaging with C1 through the Department of Management Services, making the pathway from procurement to deployment more direct and efficient. This contract not only underscores Florida’s proactive stance on cybersecurity but also sets a model for how states can centralize procurement to streamline modernization and strengthen overall resilience.
